Dublin

Dublin is Irelands capital city
On the river Liffey
It is at the seashore
With mountains galore

Viking settlement
With many more to come
Bringing changes
Throughout the ages

Diverse and welcoming
Humorous and serious
Dubh Linn meaning Black Pool to those in the know
Continues to grow

Home to many
Workplace for some
It is never hum drum

To those who have never been
There is so much unseen
Including our forty shades of green

Dublin

I hope to one day visit “Dublin Fair City” with my girl so pretty. I enjoyed the glimpse you provided. ;0)

Hi Richard, Thanks for your comments. Yes, it is well worth a Visit, Molly Malone and all. Look after yourself. Frances
