ARE YOU WEARING SHAMROCK?

Are you wearing shamrock?

And Patrick is patron saint, but why?

Did he drive the snakes out of Ireland?

Or did he just have a great PR guy? 

ARE YOU WEARING A SHAMROCK?

Are you wearing a shamrock?

Ireland’s national emblem

The young clover symbol

Displayed out of patriotism 

ARE YOU WEARING GREEN?

 

Are you wearing green?

My pretty young Coleen

And that’s everything so?

Well, that’s nice to know

And is an image to bewitch

If you do mean every stitch

A LITTLE BIT OF IRISH

 

She is my southern Irish bundle of fun

If you want a good time girl she’s the one

She drinks like a fish and dances till dawn

She’ll run around naked on your front lawn

She likes to gamble but doesn’t do drugs

And likes to drink Guinness from mugs

She is the one who paints the town red

There’s never a dull moment it has to be said

Then later you can have a quiet Canoodle

Until you unleash her inner sex poodle

Then she’s a sex crazed Barbie doll

Who doesn’t know when to stop at all

For outside she’s sweet as apple strudel

While inside she’s a spanky sex poodle

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 48

 

Hot cross buns! Hot cross buns!

One a penny two a penny - Hot cross buns

Isn’t that buy one get one free? Or are they two for ones?

Not one a penny two a penny - Hot cross buns

STUDENT PROTESTS # 3

 

I feel as a conservative voter

I must apologize to the young

Particularly those of the middle class

Whose university worries have really begun

As they now face an uncertain future

For when their student loans are spent

The cost of their degrees will make them

Ever so very slightly less affluent

THE DEATH OF DREAMS

He leaves her house

Saying goodnight at the door

And heads homeward

Like so many times before

 

She has another drink?

Or snorts another line?

No need for a cab

She thinks she’ll be fine

 

On his lips is the taste

Of his loves last kiss

As he peddles ever onward

Towards the abyss

 

She drives like a demon

Without any care

Racing over the bridge

Not seeing him there

 

There is only one winner

When the two come together

Only one outcome

A young man lost forever

 

In the laws eyes he died a boy

Three days short of being a man

But a very mature boy

A young man with a plan

 

His life had a purpose

Plans and dreams to be achieved

But his dreams died with him

And they too should be grieved

 

Too young, too young

To leave dreams unfulfilled

Too soon, too soon

For a young man to be killed

 

For Joel Semmens October 16th 1992 – October 13th 2010
