Thank you Dublin
for making me honest and simple
and pure
left you behind
a hundred years ago
but thank you Dublin
thank you for taking the trouble
to teach me what
decent people do
thank you for reminding me
what my father would do
thank you for giving me
the gift of the gab
thank you for all
the Irish jab
thank you for
my mam and dad
thank you for staying with me
after all these years
thank you Dublin
I miss you
and I will see you very soon!

apparently America
wants Canada
**** me
What will America want next
Me and you?

you speak words
the world cannot
stand

the dark skies and gloom
you say are
in front of you
look like fairy tales
and sunny skies
to me
so put your happy hat on
jump outside
capture a cloud
and if you can’t
just put your
happy hat on
anyway
in case
I am right
and
you are wrong

I am your
shadow
I will always
misbehave.

You are
exactly
where
you deserve
to be

if I lived
in a wide and expansive
field of cherries
I would wade out
walk the field
cut the cud
stay out all night
until I found
my friend laurence
there are bunches of cherries
everywhere
but , come on
let me be honest
Laurence's
are a little bit more
rare
