Jim Daly, junior Minister for Health and Older People, emerges following a slip in the Wild Atlantic Pool
If you’re launching a new swimming pool
Please stick to this one simple rule
It will all work our grand
If you stay on dry land
Don’t fall in; you’ll look like a fool
John Moynes
UK Prime Minister Theresa May and her former brexit minister Steve Baker
Steve Baker, a hard Brexiteer
Has made his position quite clear
If the cabinet go
For a deal he’ll vote no
Is May reaching her final frontier?

The ‘Fuhrer Cake’ brought into an Australian classroom by a school employee
An Australian decided to take
His left over swastika cake
To distribute at school
Thus breaking a rule
What a jaw-dropping error to make

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Minister for Health Simon Harris
With the health service feeling the pinch
The government can’t give an inch
There’ll be no festive cheer
For medics this year
As Leo is playing the Grinch.

Tim Berners-Lee at the opening of the Web Summit 2018 in Lisbon last night
Some boffin called Tim Berners-Lee
Thinks the internet can grow to be
A place of delights
Where people have rights
But that’s something that I don’t foresee

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and UK Prime Minister Theresa May in Brussels. Belgium last month
Apparently Britain now seeks
A deal that will last just twelve weeks
After which they can order
A brand new hard border
They’re talking out of their arse cheeks

Meanwhile…
The Irish position remains consistent and v clear that a “time-limited backstop” or a backstop that could be ended by UK unilaterally would never be agreed to by IRE or EU. These ideas are not backstops at all + don’t deliver on previous UK commitments #Brexit pic.twitter.com/y7AQ8V1jMo

Hmm.
Organisers have blamed rain and RTÉ for the low turnout at the Papal Mass in Phoenix Park last August
I think that we all can agree
Each one of us wanted to be
In a park with the Pope
But we just couldn’t cope
With some rain, so we watched on TV

The first official Dublin Monopoly game favours tourist spots over residential addresses
I want to know who is to blame
For destroying a once-favourite game
The streets we adored
Are gone from the board
Which strikes me as rather a shame
John Moynes
There’s a long night ahead, I’m afraid,
For the staff of our fine Fire Brigade
As pallets and tyres
Are thrown onto fires
And stupid behaviour displayed.

Peter Casey speaking at the Presidential election centre in Dublin Castle on Saturday
So Casey has made an advance
Which FF turned down at first glance
But some in the party
Replied with a hearty
Cry of “let’s give Pete a chance.”
