Here I sit alone,
So far away from my home,
City is alive....

Weird shapes pass before me
     vanish ere I scream

A young Irish lass with no man
Danced in the Moulin Rouge Can-Can
In Dublin again
She joined with Sinn Fein
And bombed as Republican Anne...

Was a young girl from Dublin
Decidly fat not thin
Her butt played ping pong
when she wore a thong
watching a three rosary sin...

Ilene's son was in a Dublin pub
When someone gave his leg an rub 
"A copper to spare?" 
"There's one over there
But he looks a bit like Beezlebub!"...

We would run in a race to Dublin 
The way we were, we could not begin.
From the start, we were through
Mack only had one shoe.
Me, I was stuck in mud to my chin....

I have a sibling somewhere in Dublin
When I miss her I jump in a wheelie bin
And pen her a limerick
Just to make her smirk 
If she don't like my head will spin...

There once was a man from Olde Dublin
Whose wife said all that he did was a sin
      So he said, "Just as well,
      If I'm already going to hell."
And later that night did her in....

Dublin city 
Along the quays 
Over the bridge 
Across the liffey 
North and South divide.

I went for a night out in Dublin,
The amount of Oasis being played was troublin',
We drank one after t'other
Till we stopped hearing those brothers,
But in the morning our stomachs were bubblin'...

Church bells forged in the 
flames of Irish history
Reign down in a full-circle ring 
on crowded streets
Echo through soul worn cobble 
stone half lit alleys 
Bringing the gap where the 
past and present meet....

Scottish Highland calf was a favorite in Dublin Town.
We loved his temperament, he was up, never down.
He bathed in roses, daisies, and autumn leaves, so brown.
King of kindness was his title, given along with a crown....

Imagine letting a necromancer 
give a speech in Trinity college Dublin 
it's so sad to see backwards peddling jesters
getting a podium about lowers education standards 
under a civilised opinion to address false tongues...

GOOD FRIDAY

We all call it Good Friday
It was really good for the sinner
Death won round one
But on Sunday, we crown the winner

Christmas 
Arrivals 
Dublin airport 
Bright smiling faces 
Warm loving embraces.

Bone damp silence pervades
A dark winter's night
On the streets of Dublin
Old tired bones rustle under cardboard
Dank smells of human neglect
Of excrement, sweat and hunger
No joyous laughter here
Just desperation, pain
And lonliness...

A MAN CALLED PILATE

A man called Pontius Pilate
In order to prevent a riot
Had Jesus killed
The Scriptures fulfilled
Now Christians need not be quiet

Two days in,
Me and you,
Hard celtic
Strays betray
No truth, stone,
shrine or statue,
Viking hearts and
Weathered youth,
Healing green eyes,
How i love you.

Your streets lure me
Like arteries to heart,
Through our Troubles,
Together, home....

O tell me about a snoddy gumboot
Of a soul; black as Guiness -
A drinker of dirty water; a wordsmith,
A conjurer and fumbler; bearer of
Levity and pork sausages, a stout
Fellow with the learning as big as
The Cork and Kerry Mountains;
You thrown-out words of Dublin......

A bright star shines
To the exalted constellations
May I present this debutant?
A poor man sleeping
Wrapped in golden tinfoil
In a doorway
It’s so cold tonight, outside at least
Beneath the splendid sky

I wonder is he dreaming
While I walk by

I love the rain in the summer
Real snow falls before the sun shines!
Every bit of it I love
Lovely and refreshing
Any day it could pour down
Never ending unpredictable rain
Dublin is a beautiful city to live in even if you're born in rainy Ireland

My first attempt at Acrostic....

TCD     GRADUATION



Cobblestone, campanile,
Mortar boards, smiles,  laughter,
Library, pigeon, tassel,
Friends,  classmates,  tea after.
