The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has revealed worms were found in a filter at a plant which provides drinking water to more than 131,000 homes in Cork
When you take a glass to the sink
To fill it with refreshing drink
The thing that comes out
Of the end of the spout
Should never be wriggly and pink

Paul Murphy TD has left the Socialist Party to set up a new political group
As Trotskyists try to outwit
Big business they’re forced to admit
That pure socialism
Is born out of schism
Which means that it’s time for a split

Some people are coming to speak
About shortening your working week
Is this just a fad
That will do only bad
Or is it something we should seek?

A painting (above) attributed to Cimabue (1240 – 1302) and recently discovered hanging in a French kitchen may not be all that it seems
It’s wonderful when your eyeball
Spots a piece of artwork on a wall
And maybe it’s true
A long lost Cimabue!
Just don’t check too closely at all

The confession of British intelligence officer Kim Philby (above), who was a Soviet double agent, has been made public
There once was a fellow named Kim

Defence Visual Information Distribution Service (a communications service for the US military) has apologised after a tweet (above) appeared to threaten people visiting Area 51 (top).
There’s an area called 51
And some folk decided, for fun,
To go take a look
The army were shook
And threatened them with a big gun

Trudeau’s electoral race
Is falling apart at high pace
As old photos show
That he used to go
To parties while wearing black face

China’s ‘Loch Ness Monster’ (left) turned out to be a piece of rubber
From a country that lies to the east
Came a tale of a rather large beast
Of course there’s a snag
It’s just an airbag
So all the excitement has ceased

From Today’s Irish Times‘ Life and Style section
Oh what is a person to do
When they’re trapped in an alien loo
Then get a fierce whack
From a panic attack
And find they’re unable to poo?

Gerry Adams was on the IRA’s ruling army council and was for a time chief of staff, a former member of the provisional has claimed.
I think we all understand why
Gerry decided to lie
It was so he could be
At large and free
While choosing which people should die
