Taoiseach Leo Varadkar (above) is mulling over calling a General Election
As Fine Gael bigwigs take note
That our neighbours are having a vote
Some think it’s a shame
We’re not doing the same
“The stars are aligned” is the quote

US President Donald Trump (centre) at the International Association of Chiefs of Police Convention yesterday in Chicago.
Chicago’s love of immigration
Has caused Donald Trump consternation
The mayor is too bold
To do as she’s told
And has notions far above her station

A press shot from the Vagina Museum, which is due to open at London’s Camden Market in November
In Camden there’s a museum where
They honour the bits found down there
But the fact you can sup
From a non furry cup
Has given the neighbours a scare

US Republican Senator John Thune (centre)) with Senator. Roy Blunt (left) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said a top envoy’s testimony about Ukraine ‘is not a good one’
A Republican mutters disdain
About what Trump did with Ukraine
This is no great surprise
Support would be unwise
In fact it would barely be sane

A boil water notice continues for people living in parts of counties Dublin, Kildare and Meath – affecting approximately 600,000 people- supplied by the Leixlip Water Treatment Plant.
The authorities have had to slap
A big warning on your kitchen tap
And so woe betide
To Dublin’s north side
They must boil or they’ll be drinking crap

Each TD is assigned a chair
So it’s crucial that each one knows where
They are meant to be
Or else you’ll agree
Each vote takes the shape of a pear

A legal battle over an orthographic squiggle has ended in victory for a couple granted the right to write their infant son’s Breton first name as Fañch instead of Fanch.
It’s always a terrible shame
If you can’t give a child the right name
But French courts say it’s fine
To use a squiggly line
Without breaking the rules of the game

North Korean leader Kin Jong-un at Mount Paektu, North Korea is planning a ‘great operation… to strike world with wonder’
It looks like our friend Kim Jong-un
Is about to have himself some fun
Will he join the race
To put people in space
Or unveil a new supergun?

The American National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) ‘ignored’ signs of life on Mars in 1970s, according to a former senior scientist at the agency
Evidence of life in space
Should bring tears to a scientist’s face
So to choose to ignore
It and not look for more
Seems like a shocking disgrace

Dublin City councillors want to bring the remains of James Joyce and his wife Nora Barnacle back to Ireland from Flunturn cemetery Zurich, Switzerland.
There once was an author, James Joyce
Possessed of a singular voice
His death overseas
Is causing unease
As a Dublin grave was his choice
