Rape Of The Green

August 4, 2010

Dig up a big chunk of that oversized pavement,
Dig up those, soon-not-to-be-needed, parking spaces.
Dig up the banks if you want to make a statement,
But don’t destroy the Green – one of Dublin’s best places!

Bathe

August 3, 2010

Take your finger off fast forward,
Click the button labelled pause.
Lose your clothes and turn the taps on,
Soak until, there’s no because.


Spraoi

August 1, 2010

A festival
Of fun and frolic.
Entertainment,
Sun and tonic.


You’ve Eh…Scored In Tallaght

July 29, 2010

Del Piero
Made an appearance.
Two to zero
Rovers fearless.


Lofts Of Bats

July 28, 2010

Sometimes I kid a touch,
But this time I kid you not.
We stood outside at dusk,
And we waited, and we watched.
A little squeaking in the hush,
Then bats emerged from our loft.

We stopped counting as such, at 103.
That’s really a bit much, even for me.


Hypocritoppos

July 28, 2010

If an Irish politician
Was a breed of animal,
Then it would be, a cross.
Between a snake, parrot
And chameleon…
The Hypocritoppos!


Record Today Please

July 27, 2010

Such a good day,
But I’m too tired,
To appreciate
It.
Maybe one day,
When I’m retired,
They might replay
It.


End Of The Hurricane Higgins

July 25, 2010

Defined an era,
Made a sport known.
Talented, ethereal,
Died alone.


Silly Season

July 24, 2010

The news and media,
Attack us with polls.
All a few can see are,
Taxes and tolls.
Then near Ballinabrackey
And not in the zoo,
Early in the morning
A woman spies a kangaroo!


Part A

July 17, 2010

Birthday
Party.
Not too many
Came.
But we
Laughed,
Full heartily.
Had a
Great,
Great,
Day.


32 Marathons

July 17, 2010

A mararthon in each county,
They’re in my county
Today..!
They must be half cracked,
They’re almost
Half way!


Ivor, Ivor, Ivor

July 14, 2010

Expenses,
Excuses.
Defence it is,
Useless.


The Wire

July 7, 2010

I’ve finally come
To completion,
I’ve watched the DVD box set..!

I ask myself
One question,
What the hell do I watch next..?

P.S.
“Ain’t no shame holding onto grief…
As long as you make room for other things too…”

No More Beer?

July 6, 2010

So, is a hangover really worth the taste?
Of yummy liquid bread, with chase.
Thank God that they’ve stopped making it,
My body just can’t keep taking it.
The least they could do is abandon it,
The yeast, the hops, and the random bit.
A beer free world awaits us folks,
Lets clap hands, while our throat chokes!


Self Respect

July 5, 2010

Respect,
Step by step,
I slowly climb its ladder.
Then rapidly descend
To the rung of Sepp Blatter.
Just when things
Start
Looking up,
I master the art of
Fucking up.


Monodrone

June 28, 2010

On and on and on it goes,
The constant drone,
Keeps you off your toes.
On and on and on it goes,
When will he stop?
Nobody knows.
On and on and on it goes,
Joseph O’Connor,
In monotone.
