Before I begin permit me to inform you that
Mare Nostrum is not a sea horse filly and
the old sea dog was sheep worrier down by
Ahakista in in west Cork where Sue Nami
said sea saw Ebb & Flo had purchased a
waterfront house called Tear na Nogue.

It’s just outside Dunes by the stretched sand,
or strand as it is known locally by the beach
combers wood drifters mudlarks & sea urchins
who are always there unshaven and unkempt.

I can’t talk, I’m a sort of a ne’er do well myself
I'm living down here in a camper van with a
fine  biteen of grey stubble too may i add.

Gew know what I noticed, when the sea wakes
it waves and down here we are very close to the
the sun sinks  and because the horizon touches
the sky it has to squeeze through and here’s
another ting I spotted. All  the winds blow from
west to east where it rises and that  is for the
same reason that  radiators are in the front of
cars so the avail of the head winds to keep them
cool it is the same reason the sun is like Wrong
Way Corrigan. Since I have been down here
I haven’t noticed once rising in the south and
sinking in the north but a local Vincent Ellis
told me that it is always like  that but the
Healy Rays tried their utmost to get it shifted
a bit more towards Iskaroon down by Cahir
Daniel where O’Connell was born but dim
hures would put a thwisth in a straight road
and sell eggs  from an up turned currach if
they thought there was muney in it.
