On Andrew Street

July 21, 2011

Plenty will applaud Enda’s speech,
But words are easy, and pretty cheap.
Now the resignation by Andrew Street,
That I applaud, for the act, at least.


What A Few Weeks

July 20, 2011

Open champion,
Darren Clarke,
Mid July,
Rain skies dark.
What a few weeks
Have just past,
Shuttle journey,
Is its last.
News Of The World
It stops press.
Some resign,
But some do less.
Church and State,
In dear old Éire,
Neither try,
Both would scare ya.
What a few weeks,
Slow summer crazy,
The news is bleak,
And the rhyming’s lazy.


Sillier Season, Starting Earlier

July 14, 2011

The only muppets are those,
That don’t really knows,
Certain news stories flow,
But some are imposed.


The Killing

July 7, 2011

New series,
Tonight on Channel4.
Good acting,
Good cast,
Gimme more.


Tall Tales, No Sails

July 3, 2011

My son thinks he’s part of the gentry,
This weekend’s temp about twenty.
So onto Waterford went we,
For ships of fun aplenty.


3636

June 29, 2011

His father’s name is Jackie,
No wonder he’s confused.
Wearing a similar flat cap he,
Tries hard to be bemused.


Just One More Thing

June 24, 2011

Adios
Adieu
Columbo
Abu


Fluffy

June 23, 2011

This evening I stared,
At a cloud in the shape
Of a ship,
Maybe, an oil tanker.
Lost, as I stared,
For minutes agape
Cut adrift,
Just me, no rancour.


Bloom Days – II

June 16, 2011

Long days for a fortnight,
Nights last only a few hours.
A few men eat with delight,
The inner organs of beast and fowls.


Luther’s Back!

June 14, 2011

The first series,
Truth be told,
Was just shy of brill.
The new series,
First episode,
What a thrill!


Plans A Foot

June 13, 2011

A new Las Vegas in Two-Mile-Borris!!
Does Ireland really need a blinking casino?
Shur, them up there, they make decisions for us,
What would ould dumb feckers like we know?


Almost Midsummer And…

June 12, 2011

What a miserable day,
Raincloudygrey.


Learn From Your Failures

June 10, 2011

When you think you can’t,
When you try your best.
When you sink your tank
Rejoice, you’re blessed!


Theatre Power

June 7, 2011

Playwrights
Highlight.
What
Daylights
Try might.


Long Weekend

June 5, 2011

Long weekends, are never long enough,
The working week, will always feel longer.
Some friends, not seen often enough,
When you meet, the friendship gets stronger.


Moo Bark

June 2, 2011

There’s a herd of cows
Lowing, very loudly,
Two fields over.
They’ve not been milked,
That’s a mishap.
For a rare evening,
It’s a once off
From their owner.
Not like the dog next door,
Too many evenings
YIP YAP!
