Thanks for the kind comments and it certainly would be excellent to jam with your Native American Flutes sometime

Hi Tony,

Sure - really enjoyed 'the american dream' blog. One day you have to hope Bush and Blair will be brought to justice! Alas I fear they are just puppets of the petroleum industry - that's where the real evil lies and we need to disown fossil fuels quickly!
Keep on writing!

Cheers
Andy

LIMERICK DAYS

(for Barney)


The greyhounds lash along the track,
as fists bash on the windows of Limerick Gaol.
I am staggering in the darkness of White Wine Lane,
and my path lies lost in the rain.

Let the horses run wildly out of control,
like my brain on too much whiskey and gin.
Let them throw my heart off the broad Shannon Bridge,
I have to die somewhere and this night will do.

I shout my poems out to the odd few who’ll listen,
be it Wolfe Tone or O’Dwyer or Davitt or Griffin.
I am lying dead drunk in the People’s Park,
I am knocked out with girls on poor Punch’s Row.

O Limerick Days you are haunting my soul,
my songs cry out for your old Summer Street.
Make love when I pour you a glass of my verse,
with hope may it set your ancient soul free.



KEITH ARMSTRONG,

Limerick.
GALIOT

Hi! Thanks to you Tony! And thanks for your comment about my music...
I like your contemporanian way to feel the music, it's like new for me but is interesting, and all that rare instruments you play... The one you play on the photo is amazing!
Kiss from Spain!
