Willie wrote to Santa Claus
requesting a Waterman™
for Christmas.

It rained a lot on the Eve,
back in Kerry.

On the morning of the 25th
Willie was awakened to a
tapping of glass from the
outside of his upstairs window.

He quickly stepped out of bed
on to a wool rug that went Baa.

It was a half dead sheep washed
up from the river (with blue markings)

Immediately, Willie put two and two
together, Chimney flooded, Santa
climbed up to give him his present!

Over he went, excited as anything,
opened the window and there was
Mickey Nugent in a rescue canoe.

Willie said, " There has been a mistake
Mickey, I asked for a Waterman™ and
not a fireman, **** off and take that
****** sheep up to Billy Mullane ".

I was a knee ****
boney spindly legs
probably hormoiously
imbalanced and coming
3rd (with 2 Older siblings)
I was the 1950’s diluted
one of the pack, but no
way was that accepted
by my macho father so
I was put on Guinness
because the advert said
It was good for me and
now I am an alcoholic
still fragile at 73 so what
the **** was that about?

I am in the AA and everyone
knows it, because there is a
big double A in silver with a
bright yellow background on
the car in the driveway, besides,
I lost my licence for drunken driving,
but more then that, my name is AL.

As we snaked our way
down from the high road
on a tar sealed converted
sheep track with chaotic
stone walls either side, the
sea was in full view.
Mountain streams gushed
over pointed rocks making
the sound of a long applaud.
Hair pin bends obvious as
the Wild Atlantic Way Logo
\/\/\/\/ pointing to Iskeroon.
Next was a cottage with blue
woodwork reminiscent of
Naxos. Then came the perfume
of turf smoke aided by a slight
breeze from the Atlantic in low
tide revealing a pod of sleeping
round stones protruding above
a sea **** surface, close to the
smallest harbour in the world,
Beal Tra (mouth of the strand).
Arriving at a gate, an avenue
with a centre crease of low grass
lead us right to the door where
our two week fairy tale began.

A sacrilegious act of gross desecration
akin to genital exposure in a Christian
Church, is walking into a Mosque with
boots and guns during Ramadan prayer.

Not an act associated with the oppressed.
Take Maori, Aborigine or Native Americans,
observe their composure, but you, the Jew,
you have no such serenity of spirit, why?

Why do you force feed your holocaust?
Why do you need to insist that we believe?
Why are you making denial a crime?
We all know why, that’s what bothers you.

A Lateral Trilogy

Midway between sill and
pelmet, traverses a black
horizontal line which I refer
to, as my morning meridian.

No, it does not have clothes pegs,
nor is it used as a midriff curtain
rail for a naked window, it is the
shortest distance between 2 poles.

Its purpose is for transporting
electricity to the houses, but it
also doubles as a perch for the
a.m. en-passant Genus Corvus.

In the distance, a white stream
in the sky, maintains a perfect
parallel line with ridge tiles on
rooftops. A lateral trilogy.

Albeit, Fake Free.

Thoughts, opinions, beliefs,
deductions, facts, verities.

Make believe,

This is not fantasy, but an
enforcement of a blatant lie.

When truth is proscribed
the prescription is a placebo.

Convince, Persuade, Induce.

Because nobody expected
Jesus to rise again on the
third day and ascend into
Heaven, the deciple's had
to find a plausible story
for the brethren who stood
vigil by the tomb where the
Roman soldiers interred him
behind a huge boulder that
was placed at the entrance
as a permanent seal.

There was a young Arab lad
from Damascus who spoke
no Latin, but he heard the
centurions saying that they
would need a good Alibi in
the event that Herod was in
any way seen culpable for
the crucifixion.

He went up to the site office
where they were recruiting
extras for a crowd scene near
Calvary where the two sinners
were still on the crosses.

"Next Please"
" Allah Boy ".

Immediately they signed him
up and gave him a leading role
in the up coming event of which
they as yet had no idea what it
was, only some had rumoured that
Jesus was an escape artist.

Easter Monday came and as we all
know, the stone moved away from
the cave entrance and Jesus rose into
heaven to sit at the right hand side
of God.

That left a huge void locally and
this is how the local rag heads got
their own spiritual leader just as
the young Dalai Lama.

Allah Boy grew up and they no
longer used the boy prefix but as
he was a teetotaller they decided
to hack all the local bars and that
is how he became Allah Akbar .


ps.

Alibi = Latin means elsewhere.

Sharing homelessness
was my first venture
into the rock bottom
state of depravation.

I became a part owner,
a pavement piece of the
identical nothing that was
our common denominator.

A universal co-operative of

our collective enterprise of
alms seeking, by entreaty.

Waking vibrations, the alarm
clock of (((shivers))) needs no
winding nor setting, automatic,

Polystyrene cups blown over in
wind need anchoring before the

Another repetition for them all,
their similarities are comparable,
same laces as yesterday, polished
accents, change is for the homeless.

Across the Red Sea the Houthi
are fighting for two survivals,
their own and the Palestinians,
while F.UK.US and the evil ones

Just imagine that you finally woke up
and found yourself in this predicament.

This is what happened to all of those

When I told him that I left
Mallow forty years ago, he
was brisk in his response
to tell me that a lot of change
had occurred in Ireland since.

" Oh, Really "

Have you not noticed then?

" The food is still terrible here
and virtually no organics, just
1% of the total land mass.
In the entire EU member states,
only Liechtenstein is worse "

Ah: But there have been other
improvements, more important
than food.

" Such as "

One can have a divorce now,
same *** marriage, gay rights,
contraception, equality for
women, we even have a queer
prime minister here also, male,
what's more, he's not even Irish.

" So you think - - - - - -

Oh, and excuse me, I forgot to
mention, we recently had a
referendum, abortion is legal.

" I see, all's changed, but the
terrible beauty may not be born ".

Just licked the last stamp
for Christmas overseas
delivery. Straight and in
the corner as I was taught
to do when I was a wee lad.

The envelope had lost its

any sort available in the

Wet flour makes a good bond.

But there again, how many
households bake bread these
days, so, a more cunning plan
was kneaded, the sowing box,
I stitched it with red cotton.

Israel is fcuked, they thought

Last night, as, as many nights
before, I woke with what I felt
was the most profound the most
intelligent thought provoking gem
ever conceived, only to discover
that it was the chameleons of
daylight that had gatecrashed
the centurions of my mind.

Caesar asked his friends

        romans and countrymen

           to lend him their ears.


         I have no such request,

          because Shakespeare

         said neither a borrower

               nor a lender be.


       Yet, the bible sayeth that

     he who giveth shall receive.


     It also states that the meek

          shall inherit the earth.


  So, is it serendipity or stupidity

    fate or contrived coincidence,

      that I have been tasked to

      restore a listed 1887 semi

       derelict schoolhouse and

             save it from ruin?


                  History and

          our vernacular is in a

     state of peril, but together

   we can induce a renaissance

for its posterity to inhabit the land.


Ask not what your country can do

for your national treasures, but what

can you and I and we them and those

do to save the inheritance of our past.

.                   Altruism
            

  Pain reflects attracts and shelters,

   benevolent havens are indicated

      with empathy or compassion

  

Human suffering has a magnetism

  invisible to an eye not the senses,

  common denominators apportion.



  Awareness of the importance of

   equality, is binary, especially if

     opposites are marginalised.

They shoot horses but only
When they fall and break a
Leg or when they are too old
To work and turned out by
Their masters when then are

And yet after failing to stop
Him competing, Genocide
Joe tries to put the front
Runner down in full view of
The media and the world.
