Problems with a mobile app appeared to force a delay in reporting the results of the Iowa caucuses for a prospective Democratic nominee for US President
Can any in Iowa say
Which candidate carried the day?
As their voting app
Turned out to be crap
The results are now facing delay

Data shows Australian millennials and Gen Xers were having slightly less sex in their teenage years than Gen Z is today
It’s a question that’s bound to perplex:
Are young people having less sex?
All good data show
That the short answer’s “no”
But the long answer‘s rather complex

Union Jack flags hang next to the Winston Churchill statue outside the Houses of Parliament Westminster, London yesterday
One big thing is happening today
Our neighbours are going away
And while Big Ben won’t bong
They may sing a song
As chaos is now here to stay

When Donald Trump set out his stall
He promised to build a big wall
But it seems that the wind
Taught that orange skinned
Fool that steel panels can fall

The Oscar Mayer marketing vehicle was stopped for reckless driving on a road in Wisconsin, USA
There’s a giant mobile and giant hot dog
Which acts like a boorish road hog
And officers say
That it would not give way
Which is dangerous and left them agog

Jared Kushner (left) and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, 2017
Jared it seems will not cease
In applying brains and elbow grease
(While ignoring the past
It’s too complex and vast)
And creating a hoax of a peace

Next Sunday – February 2, 2020 – will be the same when written forwards or backwards in whichever date format you choose.
It is with great pleasure I say
We’re approaching a palindrome day
When the date, to be blunt
Can be put back to front
And it somehow ends up the same way

Cookies required two hours of baking time at the International Space Station
If you’re yearning for chocolate chip
While stuck on an orbital ship
They’ve at last won the race
To make cookies in space
But they’re yet to pass anyone’s lip

Stress speeds up the hair greying process, scientists have confirmed
Some boffins at Harvard now say
That the stresses I face every day
Are the reasons why
I’d need to use dye
Or admit that my hair is all grey

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar (left) with Minister for Business Heather Humphries and Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe. An Irish Times/MRBI poll shows 75% of the electorate favour a change of government
The people want to rearrange
The Dáil but it seems a bit strange
That FF will be
Where now sits FG
Which isn’t that much of a change
