Amen

I don't claim credit for this
My brother or sister passed it on
It doesn't have the class of
The Assyrian coming down like the wolf on the fold
But you could see it
In front of you
And there is a whiff of irreverence
To go with the bacon and cabbage


Amen means
So be it
A half a loaf
A thrupenny bit
Four men
Six feet
Walking down
O'Connell Street
Shouting out
Pigs bum
Four-and-six-a-pound
