Poems

Sad news out of Millstreet Town to read of today
Connie Mahony of the Bridge from life has passed away
In the presence of his family and Mary his devoted wife
Where he lived he lived out his last day in life
...

In the sunny blue sky not a cloud of gray
And the silver gulls mewing above the sunlit bay
And above the scrub by the foreshore white butterflies play
It is such a beautiful February day
...

If i had a billion in money or two
For those doing it tough so much i could do
For money means so much as many would say
And is seen has most important in the Human World of today

Though you are not hungry or homeless or have ever slept rough
You does believe that life on you is tough
And though not one of the wealthy you are not financially down
Like many who live on the poor side of the town

Since sameness can become boring is how it seems to be
But with those of similar interests to you much in common you share
That best friends have much in common far more usual than rare

For as long as your gift of memory you retain
The past as you knew it with you will remain
Though some of your memories give rise to regret
And sometimes we remember things we wished we could forget
...

Once you does hear and see them you never again can get them wrong
Mottled grey brown birds they have a lovely song
Whatever reason to saltwater they like for to live near
One sees them and hear them singing at most times of the year
...

I have been described as one of illiterate rhyme
A non existent phrase but for everything there is a first time
By a would beliterary critic who does not write well
Since she or he need lessons on how to spell
...

The praises of laughter we should sing
To so many joy it does bring
To it such a beautiful happy ring
A smile does not cost one a thing
