US President Donald Trump said he wants America to have a “space force”
When fascists put children in cages
And don’t want that on the front pages
They launch a new race
To put soldiers in space
Which is evil and sad and outrageous

U2, from left: Edge, Bono, Adam and Larry
Each ambassador at the UN
Deserves a night out now and then
So we’ll take them to U2
And they’ll know what to do
Vote for us, or it happens again

Insurance costs has meant some Ireland schools have banned running in the schoolyard
Kids should go out in the sun
And blow off some steam and have fun
But though it’s not nice
Because of the price
Of insurance they’d better not run

Russian women should abstain from sex with foreigners visiting the country for the World Cup, advises Moscow politician Tamara Pletnyova (above)
Much to Pletnyova’s chagrin
Some pure blooded women may sin
If they choose to lie down
While the World Cup’s in town
With men with the wrong colour skin

Minister for Justice Charlie Flanagan has said Ireland will hold a referendum in October to remove the offence of blasphemy from the constitution

To want to make fun of a god
But our rulers deem
It okay to blaspheme
Which strikes me as just a bit odd

Some praise for Colombia’s right wing
And whip up a storm,
But they summoned a swarm
Of bees that were eager to sting

Pending a vote in the senate, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will tomorrow make Canada the first G20 nation to legalise recreational marijuana.
Young Trudeau’s a smart lad indeed
Who gives his folk just what they need
By the end of the week
Each Canuck will freak
Out on their stash of legalised weed

An engineer holds a silicon face against the head of a robot at Chinese doll factory
If the chance of a ride on a bot
Is something that makes you feel hot
Then go hump away
But don’t try to say
That it’s healthy. They’ve proven it’s not.
