Notes About The Poem

Written on the 20th March 2025For An Irish Themed Limerick Poetry Contest - Sponsored By Tania Kitchin.

The Pipe Major's Embarrassment

The pipe major at the front led the way
On this cold and windy St Patrick's day 
He was six foot and well built 
A freak gust blew up his kilt
The crowd cheered at his manhood on display...
