Do Your Best

Relax, take it a easy, after all the pain

Sun is shining, there’s much to gain

Just do your best

A sign to the rest

Hey, that was good, let’s do it again

Fun in the sun…

Midsummer Day

‘Tis early morn, on this Midsummer Day

Birds are singing, squirrels skip and play

They pay me no heed

It’s just what I need

As on the breeze, drifts a perfect bouquet

Perfect bouquet

Bloomsday Bliss

The sun is high, on this bright, warm day

Martello busy, crowds moving in sway

Joyce’s words are spoken

Rapt silence unbroken

As salty air tickles, drifting in from the bay

Martello Tower, The James Joyce Museum, Sandycove

On Sandymount Strand, you can walk forever

Or enjoy the sea, wind, panorama, whatever

Davy Byrnes for drinks

Oh yes, methinks

Would I miss such a chance, me, no way, never

He entered Davy Byrnes. Moral pub. (Ulysses – Episode 8 ‘Lestrygonians’)

Swoonbeam

A light breeze blew, as I crested the dune

In the fading sky, hung a great white balloon

Through a heavenly door

Moonbeams danced inshore

And the image I saw, made my heart swoon

Moonbeams dancing

Stranded

Of this lifelong joy, I must be candid

Fave sea walk, not taken for granted

Where the air is clear

And brings much cheer

While on the beach, I’m happily stranded!

Take a walk…

Sandymount Strand, Sandymount, Dublin

Roll No More

I loved to roll it, down the smooth lane

The place now gone, oh what a shame

No strikes to cheer

Dodgy splits to fear

But laughs and smiles, happily remain

Let It Roll!

Remembering many good times at the Stillorgan Bowl, Dublin which was demolished recently.
