.       Cork Tea Shock

    Barry’s, the blenders
    from Cork were taken
    aback on hearing that
    Michael Martin was in
    for a second term of
    prime minister and it
    caused a spike in the
    consumption which
    overwhelmed their
    supply due to the
    celebrations all over
    the county even in
    parts of Kerry also
    according to the
    Healy Rae’s who
    said it is a grand sup
    with a drop of poteen.

Budweiser & Zelensky
are neck & neck @ 4.%
but Guinness @ 0.0% is
more popular than both
which means that if an
election is called by Mr.
Trump before Patrick’s
Day, Michael Martin the
Irish Tee Shirt, will be
taking a bowl of weeds*
to Kiev not Washington.

I have the nerve of vagus,
a gaelavanter, meanderer,
a ne’er do well’er no fixed
aboder, a traveler, thinker,
etymology, Roma Latinos,
vague, vagrant, vagabond
& I have nothing to declare
except for a 0.0% Guinness
a dyslexic alcoholic genius,
despite the assassination of
millions of brain cells which
we Irish,  can afford to lose.

You are so ******* yourself,
many never passed at school,
Michael O'Leary was expelled!

You excel at communicating,
at humour and at empathy,
exams never test those things!

You are an exceptional word
herder who always manages
to find a pen for your poems.

Erase the I didn't do memoirs,
rewrite, what you've done for
others, I bet it's a longish poem.

That’s was what I supposedly
had none of, a ne’er do well
but it’s not entirely true, since
my teens there was something
I wanted to do, but I never did
muster up enough courage to
attempt it. Given the situation
of fight or flight my adrenaline
gland always supplied me with
enough cortisol for the latter.
I was a failure at school never
passed a single exam not even
the driving test in later life after
five attempts may I add. Jobs
I had scores of and names I had
many too. I never produced a
child, the earth shows up those
of value and those who are good
fir nothing, I’m a **** in that case.
The only thing I excelled at in life
was drinking, I became a black
belt equivalent even got a special
medal from Alcoholics Anonymous
to prove I was a successful toper.
But whats been my ambition you
may be asking! Suicide, believe it
or not, but as in everything else, I
have failed, because I’m a quitter.

Off        By       Heart

Measure~beat &~flow
rhythm~cadence~row.

It is all in the breathing,
shallow, deep, pauses,
stops are punctuations
by the soul, feelings of
the  poetic sentiments
which express sound in
metaphor similar to the
seagull through the tin
whistle of Finbar Furey’s
Lonesome        Boatmen,
a tune that defied words!

I’ve got cholesterol by day
But it’s cortisol by night
This is why I’m stuck here
I can’t do fight nor flight
