A Few Coppers Poem by Liam ó Comáin

A Few Coppers



They hung in a bunch
Men, women, young and old;
Over painted, dishevelled
and bold:

'Hey, boss, could you spare
a few coppers? '

'Hey, love, could you spare
a few coppers? '

A daily ritual to raise a few bob
Then off they went to 'biddy their
Gob' from the bottom of Waterloo Street.
