My accent

My Irish accent was so bad it perforated UIster


I asked for Chicken Kerry not a Dead Duck


Do we really need Cork with everything?


I have Celtic feet not sweltering heat


I said,Donegal, not, don’t call


I said Castlebar not how far
I want a trim to my hair,Antrim I spy


I said Dublin, not “love in”


I said we went to Howth not I swore an oath.


I said Nelson’s column not “hell is coming”


Where is County Teeth and why not Meath?


I’m an atheist now because I wanted relief from belief.

On the other hand the existence of God and several levels of angels did give a certain richness to the poetic world

Who would think now that sparrows chirruping  were the souls of the dead?
