Oh the Ladies of Eire are fiery
I must pencil them into my diary
Though a rub of my relic
For the ladies, angelic
Will reward them for excellent lawery

In limerick and contest, I regret
I was not there at MN’s behest
like the West I’m Awake now
Like the opposite of hate though
NAMA dat quod non habet

I awoke and found it complete
Like so often, when offered a treat
A late entry allowed?
Although well endowed
The contest will bid me defeat

My dear MN has fallen asleep
I just saw her counting some sheep
In Brian Cowen’s county
A fish book’s a bounty
I adore her, and she is for keeps

There is someone out there I adore
And when I get some, I want more
Till debt do us part
Well, debt and the farts
In Irish the word is a stÓr

There once were some limericks from MN
Who kept on and on though she shouldn’t
She wanted a book
By hook or by crook
But was disqualified as she was foreign

A lesser known playwright called Friel
Said you’re as young as the woman you feel
He would not use that word
Thought it somewhat absurd
Told his characters just to get real

I have feelings for this fellow Joyce
His mother thinks I am quite noice
if I stick like a limpet
And if I don’t wimp it
He may one day make me his woife

The theme must be about you know what,
And for the most part, well mine, they are not
I can punctuate though
And know Danny Trejo
And my valentine’s Flann O’Brien’s moth

SOS apostrophe catastrophe
The one re George Lee I have fluffed
Nine months in the Dail
Needs no quote at all
If you’re picky like that go get stuffed

Did you know that Stalin was Irish
Apocryphal stories from my Trish
Tell of the when and the how
He beat Chairman Mao
In chess in Cowan’s pad which was stylish

They say Wilde was well-known as a wit
Or so it is said and is writ
But he went to jail
And in this he must fail
For in absens haeres non erit

While I’m here, very sad on my own
I think I’ll get back on the phone
We’ll have to rouse Ian
A Limerick machine
He has my snow white out on loan

In gaelic “bhuel” means well, just well.
But if you spelled backwards this bhuel
You’d get the forbidden
The one banned word hidden
Leubh Gamma and she couldn’t tell
