clumsy takedown
where he lands on my ankle
night agony

Belfast loyalists are annoyed again
by Irish councils doing Irish deeds.
They believe the Gaelic language, in the main,
is a basic threat to all their English needs.
How dare they add some dual language signs
to roads within the boundaries of their borough;
Republicans are intimidating lives
and they assure us of their retribution thorough.
They've added Sunningdale to their parade
in which they'll wave their flags and stomp their boots
and further to Republic protests made
will use their megaphones along their routes.
"This is British soil here in Belfast,
and British prejudice is built to last."
