The Raging Sea

Woe is me, near the raging sea

Waves a crashin’, onto the quay

Before nature’s power

I nervously cower

Spray falling, on my battered lee

Blowin’ in the Wind

Killiney Hill Blues

Be it soft or deep, it’s about the hue

From sea to sky, and always new

Just climb the hill

And get your fill

Of nature’s beauty, in sumptuous blue

Dream On…

Snow Falling

Snow is falling, silently and clear

Covering all, in a white veneer

Much joy and fun

As children run

Slipping and sliding, no signs of fear

Slip, sliding away…

The Silence Returns

Ten months later, the silence is back

The Covid demon, it will not slack

Do the right thing

That’s how we win

Work hard people, let’s beat this attack

Bloom perfume …it’s coming

Take It To The Limit (5Km)

Travel restrictions, don’t make my day

I must be creative, having only 5k

A walk on the pier

That I value so dear

Tangy air to breathe, by deep blue bay

Into the Blue

Hugs and Kisses

The virus aimed, and did hardly miss

Cost a heavy price, with no hug or kiss

We will prevail

To tell the tale

Of being with loved ones, oh what bliss

Up. up and away...

Come On, Mick

Just got the news, that a good friend is sick

The virus came silently, and hit him quick

Always first to assist

He’ll fight and resist

To beat this menace, now Come on, Mick!

Joker's Chair
Your chair awaits!

Philo – King of Dublin

We were dancing in the moonlight, when the news came through

Don’t believe a word, said someone, but our mood was blue

No more boy in town

The sun goes down

Hey, turn up the music, and do anything you want to

The Rocker

Dedicated to Phil Lynott who sadly left us on 4th January 1986

New Year’s ‘Hey’

Start of the new year, it’s a quiet day

No meetings allowed, nothing to say

My dream for now

It will be a wow

To wave to a friend, and just say ‘Hey’

Friends…
