You've probably never heard of Lough Egish. I'm not surprised. The gene pool there, swirling near the mill, For centuries, Produced a multitude of survivors From famine, Cromwell, And seven hundred years of ethnic cleansing. Then, sixty-one years ago today, Me.

I, Me, I Slap My Back
You've probably never heard of Lough Egish. I'm not surprised. The gene pool there, swirling near the mill, For centuries, Produced a multitude of survivors From famine, Cromwell, And seven hundred years of ethnic cleansing. Then, sixty-one years ago today, Me.
Lough Egish: "Lake of the Learned," a small community in County Monaghan, Ireland. This is my "Yawp!!"
