The President tweeting with rancour/
About someone calling Ivanka/
A vulgar expression/
Confirms the impression/
He’s one hypocritical wanker.///
The President tweeting with rancour/
About someone calling Ivanka/
A vulgar expression/

A Spanish PM with a beard/
Declared “it is just as I feared -/
Unable to handle/
The spread of this scandal,/
It seems I have just been cashiered”.///
An expert on Harry and Wills/
Named Thomas J. Mace-Archer-Mills/
Is not, it transpires,/
A squire from the shires,/
But Tommy from New York’s green hills.///
Babchenko occasioned some strife/
By faking the loss of his life;/
His claim to be dead/
Completely misled/
The whole world, including his wife*.///
*OK, some media reporting now that she did know. I’ll stick with ‘it’s unclear’ for now.
The TV performer Roseanne,/
A bit of a Donald Trump fan,/
Was racist on Twitter,/
Which came back and bit ‘er/
When ABC gave her the can.///
The Malian hero Gassama/
Who rescued a child amid drama/
Can stay on in France/
But why should that chance/
Be something contingent on karma?///
A would-be prime minister fella/
For Italy’s pop-right umbrella/
Was summoned to Rome/
But had to go home/
Frustrated by old Mattarella.///
The Irish reform referendum/
Saw women, and men who defendum,/
Asserting their choice,/
And using their voice/
On laws that control, to amendum.///
A very obnoxious old dork/
Appeared in a court in New York/
On charges of rape/
And couldn’t escape/
His own Harvey Weinstein perp walk.///
Old President Trump, on a whim,/
Has cancelled his summit with Kim;/
If Trump had his eyes/
On a Nobel Peace Prize,/
The chances now look pretty slim.///
