spring sun
warming my face again
sneezes

They asked what I stood for
and I said The King, Old ladies,
people on crutches on public transport.
I don't have time for idiots,
or for people who think Christianity
is only what they think it is;
or oppression, politicians who lie
(and that's all of them, I think)
and those who put someone else down
to make them feel better about themselves.

And nobody believes you're Irish
because your grandpappy once had a furlough in Dublin
even if he tried the Guiness.
