Graves of the Lefties

Imagine a lovely garden , tea for two , and this story...
                      for only to me , came a poem from His breath
                   
                      The world He'd done right , ' cept some Irish that were left
                      So He took these lefties to reason things out

                      For the Irish don't worry , and never seem to pout

                      With tears in their words , like their vows said in chapel
                      Only lefties of the Irish gut a poem with a scalpel

                      It pains me so , when the righties lament
                      From the poems that are written in the Irish cement
