Half the country is barmy,
The other half damned.
Where the hell is the army?
Where the hell is the plan?
National Emergency, Irish Style
November 26, 2009A Day Of Inaction
November 24, 2009A quarter of a million they,
On strike.
Not all on the picket lark,
Not quite.
Today was just a family day,
We like.
Irish people tend to bark,
Not bite.
Water, Water, Everywhere
November 20, 2009Streets are rivers, rivers are burst,
Cork and Galway are hit the worst.
Houses are islands, fields are lakes,
Hope it stops raining, for all our sakes.
We Don’t Mind Losing, But…
November 18, 2009Volleyball beats us…
Mother of Jesus!
Even in volleyball,
That would’ve been a foul!
Voi Simple – Gotta Hand It To Henry…
November 18, 2009Does South Africa beckon?
For Ireland, mais non!
First game, a deflection,
The second, hands-on!
Yet Another Foot
November 16, 2009Another five toe,
Found on the shore.
That’s seven now so,
How many more?
Home Thick Blues
November 11, 2009The country has been run,
Into the ground!
Blindly led for so long,
We’re subterranean.
Don’t forget your shovel,
If you want to go to work!
And dig your way out,
To breathe the air again.
Heard It On The Wind
October 31, 2009Winter,
Just one day to go.
Hint heard,
Whispered by wind blow.
Hail Marys, Full Of…
October 27, 2009Well Mary Harney said “shop around”,
Now Mary Coughlan says “shop at home”!
Not sure who’s the bigger clown,
But I know who’s got the bigger hole!
…
[In the public finances, of course]
Despair
October 26, 2009When you’ve lost,
Everything.
When there’s nothing,
Else to give.
When you’re down,
And nearly out.
When a cry,
Can’t even shout.
Mindful Of What You Wish For
October 16, 2009I wish I could stop wishing.
I think, I should.
I wish, I could.
Shooting Star
October 11, 2009Fla-whoosh,
I just saw a shooting star,
It has been,
Such a long time!
I just glanced up,
And Yeeeee-Haw!
Small bright dot,
Trailing long line!
It’s Curtains For The Bull
October 7, 2009O Donoghue agrees to resign,
But not until, next week!
Seven days to redesign,
His new office, what a cheek!
Moonlight In October
October 5, 2009Resplendent moon-painted
October sky.
Hard to describe,
So I won’t even try.
Beech On Fire
October 3, 2009Turning, as if burning,
See the beech tree leaves.
Fold tighter, hold tighter,
In more wind, less breeze.
