Patrick Oflanagan

Patrick O’Flanagan’s covert shenanigans
Make people ask where he gets to at night
There’s a perception that Patrick O’Flanagan
Visits a door with a glowing red light

What people don’t know about Patrick O’Flanagan
Is he has only one goal
Each night at ten to ten, visits his gran again
She does a dance with a pole

Old Ma O’Flanagan dances for Stan and Ben
Over in County Kildare
The nurses and carers all turn a blind eye 
As Stan sticks his pension ‘down there’

Pat’s her announcer, he's also her bouncer
He keeps them old fellas in check
Old Ben can get frisky and that’s a bit risky
Unless he desires a sore neck

These is the rules says Patrick O’Flanagan
That shrivelled todger of yours 
Grandma will make that old thing come awake again
And you place hard cash down her drawers

But Ben said those wrinkles don’t pep up our winkles
We only watch her to rehearse
For what we might see on the CCTV
When you nip out back with that nurse

Hi Jan... I often don’t know where my tales come from but one of the comments for my poem ‘Edible’ used the word shenanigans... I just had to use it... and the rest is history. Glad to join the ‘old todgers’ club and glad you enjoyed. Terry
