The protesting crowd are dismayed,
That our army and cops are arrayed,
Alongside the G8,
But we’ll leave them there late,
Once Obama goes home we’ll invade.

In the toughest debate of the year,
Micheál Martin steps forth without fear,
Like a worn-out lame duck,
He passes the buck,
In the hope it might save his career.

So Reilly is trying to coax,
Youngsters away from the smokes,
By simply demanding,
And end to all branding,
Designed to attract younger folks.

The government wants to resume,
Our long-frozen property boom,
This country we’ll fix,
With mortar and bricks,
And a thousand green shoots soon will bloom.

These wily Freemen On The Land,
Have some theories I don’t understand,
They think you can withdraw,
From the terms of the law,
And everything will turn out grand

To be honest I’ve never known why,
Witches use broomsticks to fly,
But at least they now know,
They don’t have to fly slow,
As long as they don’t climb too high.

It seems that some doctors of spin,
Are teaching the Blueshirts to win,
At online debate,
By accepting their fate,
And taking it all on the chin.

It Kicks off a Summer tour of Box of Frogs, directed by Caroline FitzGerald and written by Isobel Mahon in collaboration with the cast, taking in the venues (above).

Through the medium of story, comedy and song.
No limericks, alas.
