This can happen over the months and years. I often end up recycling previous puns without realising.

A dhaoine uaisle,
b'fhéidir gur chaill tú do chuarán ?
D’aimsigh Aoife Mhór an cailín gabhar péire
go luath ar maidin taobh thiar den chlampán prátaí.
Bhíodar in aice le bean bhean.
Más mian leat na míreanna seo a fháil
buail isteach chuig an bhfáiltiú agus bíodh
comhrá discréideach le Deirdre mór.
Tá sí ag tabhairt aire dóibh ina cófra speisialta,
chomh maith le go leor earraí coisbheart traidisiúnta eile,
uirlisí ceoil agus an bradán amhránaíochta.
B'fhéidir gurbh fhearr leat na stains a bhaint
ó do chuarán sula bpléascfaidh tú arís iad?
Iarr ar D mór a spraeála Cillit Bang™ a thabhairt ar iasacht
agus an scuab scrobarnach dhaingean.

Mban,
b'fhéidir gur chaill tú do radharc ?
Fuair Aoife Mhór an cailín gabhar ceann
go luath ar maidin taobh thiar den chlampán prátaí.
Bhí sé in aice le péire cuarán uaisle.
Más mian leat an mhír seo a fháil ar ais
buail isteach chuig an bhfáiltiú agus bíodh
comhrá discréideach le Róisín mór.
Tá sí ag tabhairt aire dó ina chófra speisialta,
chomh maith le go leor gabhálais traidisiúnta eile,
uirlisí ceoil agus an bradán amhránaíochta.
B'fhéidir gurbh fhearr leat na stains a bhaint
ó d'eagar roimh é a úsáid go poiblí arís ?
Iarr ar R mór a spraeála Pledge™ 2-in-1 a thabhairt ar iasacht
agus an ceap brillo méid teaghlaigh.
