Am I Me

Am I me

Finnegan Finnegan  Finnegan  Finnegan
Swings girls out and brings em in again
Round and round its time to spin again
Loves the ladies does poor dumb Finnegan

Left old Ireland new begin again 
Sailed on Minerva ,  sunken, drowned?
Born again chance to win and then
head kicked , caved in poor old clown…….me kicked by horse

never had a thought  alone
never worried , didn’t see
never learned,  dumb brain my own  
kept him down, till I got free

died in the awful  head on smash…(1975)
another soul invested me…..(Psychic said)
mind a working what a blast
smarter now is what I be…?

This looks like a good poem for St. Patrick's Day. You're a little early, but it doesn't matter.
