Not so Unlucky '13

The Anglo Tapes boiled up our blood, that was the final straw,
The Bankers started to feel the heat of the long arm of the law.
Berlusconi it seems was a naughty boy and Pope Benedict bailed out of power,
Miley Cyrus's on-stage twerking was too much for the conservative shower.

From Man United, the Hairdryer resigns, and Trappatoni had to go,
Roy Keane will now pretend, that Martin O'Neill runs the show. 
The All Blacks snatched a cruel victory, after Ireland missed a kick,
The Dubs took Sam and Clare got McCarthy which made the Cork boys sick.

Maggie gave her last wave, Seamus Heaney no longer alive,
Garda Donohoe was gunned down & Nelson Mandela exited, aged 95.
The brave Donal Walsh bid his final farewell, and Heffo too is toast,
And Colm Murray helped Tony McCoy past his 4000th finishing post.

The G8 Summit arrived in June, Obama back home once more,
Enda's SWATs kept Nidge and Co, away from the Lough Erne Shore.
The Troika gone, we'll manage ourselves, we cannot afford more fails,
But fear thee not, it seems that the yanks, are tapping our calls and mails.

With the ESB workers in a fury, the power might fail to flow,
Some Kerry County Councillors think drink driving is the way to go.
Nigella's homemade recipes, it seems, might get you high,
And if you're a horse, don't break a leg or you'll end up in a pie.
