In olden times
A hint of Jihad
Was looked on
As something really quite bad
But now who knows
Anything goes

(Written after Irish police failed to arrest two men this week who had been casing the underground service tunnels near Dublin Castle prior to the scheduled meeting of European Union leaders at that location shortly. The Jihadis disappeared into the tunnel. The cops were unwilling to pursue for fear they might die. The motto of the Irish police force is: We'll worry about it when it turns bad.)
