Where would we be?

Where would we be without Guinness?
Where would we be without song?
Where would we be without craic?
Where would we be without the bodhran?
Where would we be without our colleens?
Sitting miserable at home
With our cabbage and bacon 
Watching The Late Late Show

Dear Thriveni,you are so generous with your comments that you have made me blush.If I may misquote Hilaire Belloc,"Let my sins be as scarlet as long as my poems are read "

Congrats on your placement in my contest Denis. You are right when you ask those questions. I do play the bodhran. Like the end.

Thank you for letting me know,Oliver. I did not really have any hopes for my submission but maybe the mention of the bodhran swung it my way
