In Dublin

My son’s in Dublin, now, for work.
Irish travel – what a perk!
He’ll only be there for a week
But he’s allowed a little peek.

Shooting snooker ‘stead of pool;
Watching rugby played – how cool!
Drinking Guinness in a pub,
Like a local at a club.

He’ll be back the day before
We come knocking at his door
For Turkey Day with what will be
Plain beer and football on T.V.

Was a great day here in Dublin on Saturday Ilene we beat the Aussies in the rugby match, I had a few pints of the black stuff too, I’m delighted your son enjoyed his short stay, snooker is pretty cool but the tables are enormous, cheers David

No matter how much fun he has in Ireland there is something about coming home that can't be beat. Good Stuff. God Bless, JB
