The Celts


With a K or maybe a C is often misspelt

Leprechaun sworn torn from green felt

Billiard baize suit worn with a big belt

Scorn cliches like Romans Cornish pelt


Taffs...the Jocks or Shamrocks smelt

In foreign lands so many have dwelt

Velvet villainy Galician or Brittany C/Kelt    

Falter but not at Catholic altar knelt

Riff raffs playing the cards we're dealt


Life & death debacle glued a shoe's welt

Riddles tango with fiddles so heartfelt

Calms disarms always buxom not svelte

Lovers then in each others arms melt

No qualms rascal sparkle charms of a Celt
