Premium Member Trench Town of Cicero

the reasoning the fishing in the trenches
beyond tire swings and monkey wrenches 
follies crawl behind the hanging logos 
of unseen filth across 124th street 

tassels dangled above an oasis 
of fine dining and soiled linen 
over the board rooms covered 
in a mesh of purple mustard 

beckoning ancient aura solid creed 
coming throughout hidden rivalry 
tampered with ankara's answering service 
gravely time passes abaundantly 

coarse and yet shunned quietly 
we remember the malitia moreover 
we began a new wearing gray hoodies 
offering our youth to silent the storm 

that brewed inside a percolator 
pot of copenhagan snuff chewing tobacco 
screaming a cure for cancer shall rise 
over bob marley's tears as we munster up 

courage a courage of faith challenged 
behind the wrecking ball of ground zero 
we count one more time mon 
freedom will soon come 
in our most sinful hope

Premium Member Munster - county hokum

  daft colleen from precipitous Clare
  bold like the Burren, grey bedrock stare
  turloughs flowing, born and bred
  banner county, father Ted
  Cliffs of Moher she jumped for a dare

  floaty accent, wayward man of Cork
  culinary city, knife and fork
  horizon dreams he was fed
  Cobh harbour past Mizen head
  around Kinsale then off to New York

  bad tempered Kerryman lost his ring
  by the Killarney lakes he did fling
  butt of jokes, very cruel
  Dingle berries, Carrantouhill
  his MacGillycuddys reek and sing

  Limerick poetess made you think
  five lines she wrote then, ran out of ink
  first, second and fifth must rhyme
  shorter third and fourth are fine
  but must keep their rhythm all in 'sync'

  Tipperary jockey rode with pace
  sure she won the Grand National race
  cheered from lough Derg to Cashel
  from Nenagh down to Clonmel
  loud bells were rung for her steeplechase

  Waterford witch, many followers
  her crystal glass, many swallowers
  toast to the oldest city
  viking girl, very pretty
  velvet voice. plenty polymers

the Irishnissness about me

I just looked up my DNA profile from a couple of years back to see whether I should be feeling patriotic today - apparently I'm 21% Irish and it was rather specific - 19% Leinster and 2% Munster on the maternal branch (+18% Northern Irish from the paternal side) - I could definitely justify a Guinness. 

Having traced back my family tree I think it's mostly from a poor Irish girl sent to give birth in a English workhouse, with that baby (great grandfather on my mother's side) brought up by a willing childless English family. Given the poverty and lack of opportunity, he was still a demonstrably intelligent man with beautiful handwriting (though more tradegy than celebration in his cut short life and he died when my Grandad was 4 years old). An Irish surname was on his birth certificate, which apparently has roots in Munster. I feel very English though but maybe I have Ireland to thank for my exam successes. 

My best pint on St Patrick's Day was in Prague - me and my friend had decided we were best never drinking again but then saw the date and went in the nearest Irish bar and ordered a Guinness, said goodbye to our hangovers and had a great time! Actually that might be the only time I've had a drink on St Patrick's Day, so I definitely can't call myself Irish! :)

Happy St Patrick's Day!

Witch Costume To Wear

Once upon a Halloween
I was a little black cat
Since then I have also been
A witch and the Cat in the Hat

One time I was Lily Munster
And then a witch again
I was also once Bart Simpson
Another witch, and then

A wizard and a zombie, too
The following year, a fairy
And, just to try out something new
More witches, sweet and scary

Dressed in purple, and in orange
And even once in silver
And, like a squeaky door hinge 
A laugh to make you shiver

It may not be the best you’ve seen
This costume both cliche and kitsch
But when all else fails on Halloween
You can’t go wrong with being a witch!

Natural Soporific Narcotic

recurrent suicidal thoughts vain
     gloriously wend 
     (o'er a death cab for cutie weeknd)
     yanking zeal

becalming this crash test dummy rolling 
     stone temple pilot inxs 
     of maroon 5 plus decades long 
perdition hellaciously slogging 

     slow as adam and the ants, 
     thru fifty shades of gray's 
     anatomy common weal
masterly baiting this motley crue (cutting), 

     beatle browed, beastie boy, 
     outre gee (bee) us, grateful dead, 
     mailer daemons inhabit 
     cavernous fist size vastness steel

via Herbie Hancock (Hermans Hermits)   
     cheesy Munster trap doors that steal, 
deep purple swiftly tailored

venue at Tokyo hotel, via en grave invitation 
     signed by Alice in Chains poison huss kiss 
     sing, which will spellbind 

     once contents unveiled, an instant app peal
immediately choking off air supply 
     then Alice Cooper egging bad company 
     to hypnotize the guess who sacrificial meal

supplanting raw primal scream from spinal tap
     acquiescing self to abandon all hope,

     dark shadows would demand one

before sacrificing oneself at the beck and call 
     of evanescent nirvana

Etymological Fervor Kindles Logorrhoea

Hence no surprise... yes
recherché rhetorical flourish(es) impress,
yet mine deliberate vocabulist predilection,
I haint gonna stress
aforementioned quirk
also includes zero apr

(annual percentage rate),
may be subject with excess
sieve jejune ennui pullulating Kudzu like
indecipherable haphazard gobbledygook mess
abhorrent brashness claptrap discouraging
further harrowing progress
into thicket of verbiage, perhaps...

unwittingly encountering Loch Ness
cheesy Munster gussied up as...
transgender logophile, alias Hermann Hesse,
which obvious immediate
long winded atavistic feature will
allow, enable, and provide

dead giveaway clue to guess,
whether yours truly be
mouse or man (chess
champion) meandering along
stream of consciousness,
whereby succumbing to wordiness helpless

(fear not coronavirus,
nor other mortal affliction)
even if exuding fifty shades of gray pus,
the only bonafide surefire
holistic, iambic, therapeutic... recourse
I reluctantly, lamely, and feebly confess
to ameliorate slogging thru

metaphorical marsh cress,
(a veritable poetic nightmare)
volunteer self as unsuspecting to acquiesce
(lest no lifetime allowance
courtesy United States mint printing press),
whereat Impractical Jokers profess

gut wrenching, humiliating, insulting...
pranks, albeit dudes harmless
(think) only psychological state at risk else
suffer interminable, objectionable, unutterable...
mother (ƒµ©****) eternal duress
unbeknownst to thee multisyllabic

stranger vowel things in consonant
essentially Mattspeak trumpeting
as sesquipedalianism (the lesser of twee vols)
temporarily rendering, manifesting
sudden impulse to emulate... me,
and damaging basic cognitive process.
