Poor St Patrick!
Kidnapped
Enslaved.
Tending pigs.
Asleep to Ugly
Ignorant Grunts
In a strange
Sodden island.
His life cut short.
By Sixteen Hundred years.
Thus missing the Bliss
Of being too old to carry a Gun
When young men in Post-Christian Ireland
Hear Strumpet Blasts
Of Daffy windbags urging them
To war in foreign lands,
Yet living in a yet unfree land
About which they know
Next to Nothing.
To recognise
Twice Nothing
Look Closely
At B0N0.
and so missing the pleasure of hearing Post-Christian Strumpet trumpet calls from the likes of Joe Duffy and Fergal Keane
