A time of darkness, is almost done
For you and me, and everyone
The days grow longer
We’re getting stronger
And into the light, we gladly run

MAY-BE
M ay is the month, the last of Spring
A nd all expecting, a warm upswing
Y es, it’s time to chance
B eam wide and dance
E njoy the air, and have a fling!
Birthday Girls
To two of my favourites, from Dublin City
Full of love, and looking so pretty
I just gotta say
Have a great day
‘Cos that’s all I can manage, in this wee ditty!
Roll Up, Roll Up
Roll up your sleeve, yes that’s fine
A quick sharp jab, it took no time
I slept like a log
Not a drop a grog
Feeling much better, what a good sign
Walking on Sunshine
Walking on sunshine, the way to go
Smiles aplenty, so many on show
Ice creams in hand
Ooh, that tastes grand
Happy mood, as a zephyr does blow

Take Five – a Limerick
Just five lines, but it can say a lot
On the money, hitting the spot
Be it light or pithy
The wee rhyming ditty
Always ends quickly, ‘coz it’s all I’ve got
Virtual Talk
It’s all virtual this, or virtual that
Not the same, this looking at
I miss the feel
So let’s try real
And meet again, for a friendly chat
The Real Deal…
The Write Men
Behind the curtain, he moves like a swan
The crowd is silent, all chitchat gone
Everything is ready
Sam’s rock steady
Lights, camera, action ‘Right, I’ll go on’
In memory of Samuel Beckett, born 13 April 1906

Closer now, to that further shore
The wind is up, blowing hard once more
Sea spray does caress
A magical largesse
Feeding mind and body, deep to the core
In memory of Seamus Heaney, born 13 April 1939

‘Marvellous’ Marlay Park
My Garden of Eden, in the south of town
A must for walkers, a joy all year round
With swans on the lake
Squirrels on the take
And bubbling water, such a pleasant sound
Marlay Park is in Rathfarnham, South Dublin
