So Much To Write About

I commenced penning stuff when in my life's prime
And I've never written poetry I only pen rhyme
Not hard for to pen and easy to recite
And the type of stuff anybody could write

In Big Brother's Eyes

You hang in there in life's battle though the going for you is tough
But to say the least you feel sad to know you are not good enough
To be rated by Big Brother as one who has achieved
For being a battler recognition as of yet you've not received

Back There Near Ballydaly

Back there near Ballydaly the rain is drizzling down
And few cars on the roadway that leads to Millstreet Town
And though only a few days now from the first of the calendar Spring
The songbirds yet not nesting though they soon will start to sing

Babble through Claraghatlea from it's home by the hill

The True Test Of Love

'Tis true action speaks louder than words can say
And to show our love each of us has our own way
And true love does not die as you grow old and gray
And a gift of flowers does not prove your love on Valentine's Day.

Between Wrong And Right

Though some put their point across by force of might
There is a great difference between wrong and right
And force of might never can make right out of wrong
To the arrogant and ignorant such thinking belong.

An Unsuccessful Fellow

An unsuccesful fellow I've written reams of bad rhyme
And I would be in prison if penning doggerel was a crime
As gray as a badger and years past my life's prime
Though we all become victims of old Father time.

To Them We Are Food
