A Wise One

With the saying age brings us wisdom I can't say I agree
It has not made a wiser person out of me
I am growing old but I'm not growing wise
To learn wise people are rare is not a surprise

That Some Are So Cruel

That some are so cruel does seem sad to say
Of such terrible crimes one hear and read of each day
Many unlit streets unsafe after nightfall
For some not a nice World to live in at all

What Was Has Gone Forever

Only in memory we can go back the years what was has gone forever
But the ties that bind me to the past I find too hard to sever
Perhaps I'll never more see Clara hill near Millstreet in Duhallow
I left there many years ago I had my dreams to follow.

And wave to the fans as they chant aloud his name
He feels so superior to those he has beat
And he feels so enraptured in his own self conceit

It Is Often Said Of Karma

It is often said of Karma we receive what is our due

The World only divided by human created borders in reality 'tis all of the one crust
We were born of a woman and we decay to dust

The Young Evergreen

'Tis said she is eighty three she does not look that old
For one of her age attractive to behold
Her wavy hair time has left silvery gray
She must have been quite a beauty on her day.

At Night In Kallista

At night in Kallista the wood of the white cockatoo
The powerful owl calls out in his mournful woo hoo
Where in the pale moonlight the giant mountain ash trees
Are soughing ever softly in the freshening breeze

Some See My Verses As Dated

Some see my verses as dated as out of their time
And I seldom bother to polish my rhyme
The best years of my life to time have long gone
And I must be addictive to keep scribbling on.

Joan And Carmel

Since I've last seen them 21 years in time has gone
They soon will be forty the clock is ticking on
Married with children in Millstreet Parish Joan Cotter and Carmel Dinneen
It has been awhile now since they were nineteen.
