there is nowhere
like tomorrow
no one I know
has ever been there
Come ‘on
Let’s go!

Look at your father
laugh a bit
if you will
but know this
if you know nothing else
ever
as long as you live
this
is the purest
most honest
love
you
for the rest
of your life
will ever
know!

i used to spend my days
pouring myself
into the cups of others

only to find
that when it was time
for myself to take a sip

all that was left
in my cup
was the remainder of a girl
who gave

too much

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
