Larry Bradfield Poet Limerick

Wee People of Cork

There once was a young lassie from Cork
Who vacationed a time in New York
She met there a young man
Who made fun of her land
And he called the Wee people O'Rourke

Well, he took her to bed to atone
But he still wouldn't leave it alone
She said "Please leave "Wee" be
"Because it's plain to see
"You've got some Wee stuff of your own."
