Irish Political Nonsense.
In honour of Enda Kenny (TD), a Co Mayo man of course, who is about to become the new Prime Minister of Ireland.
_________________________________________________
Enda, the local TD (MP) was elected to the Dail by a large majority vote.
He was so delighted by his win, to all his friends he wrote
A letter inviting them to come dine with him
In the big hotel - the crowds came pouring in.
There were tall men, small men, bald men, football men, Fianna Fail men, know-it-all men.
There were bail men, salesmen, Fine Gael men, IRA men, NFA men, GAA men.
There were CIE men, ESB men, RTE men, BBC men, ITV men & EEC men.
There were Technicians, Opticians, Physicians, Magicians, Musicians, Electricians & Dieticians.
There were postmen, host men, propose-the-toast men.
There were teachers, preachers & men who were good readers.
There were bakers, undertakers & men who were fine coffin makers.
There were waiters, slaters & men who were good eaters.
There were shopkeepers, street sweepers, men who were good sleepers,
Great collectors, team selectors & men who were good electors.
There were pit men, well fit men, jurors, rulers, chauffeurs & gofers.
There were tailors, sailors, peelers, cattle dealers, joiners & golfers.
There were single men, married men & some who brought their wives along.
The women wore tall hats, small hats, green hats, easy-clean hats,
Leather hats, knitted hats & well fitted hats.
There were single dames there, well done up ones and well brought up ones.
Some had high heels, some had low heels & some had no heels.
Some wore mini skirts, skinny skirts, high skirts & low skirts.
Some you’d think had no skirts.
Some of these were rousers, some wore trousers.
Some could step-dance, others could not dance
And more of them had hot pants.
Well, some were sat eating, others were up & down greeting.
There were all kinds of nice cakes, ice cakes, sliced cakes & spice cakes.
With soup, we got brown rolls, some of them were round rolls.
Talk about munching & crunching & drinking,
There was no time for thinking.
The soup bowls were soon collected
and the next ones well selected.
We got ham & lamb, salmon & tomatoes in a bowl.
We got red sauce like lamb’s jam & potatoes in a roll.
There were rashers & canapés & carrots by the score.
We got roast beef & minced meat & cocks’ legs galore.
We had whiskey & brandy, tonic wine & shandy
Cherry wine & sherry wine & all sorts of berry wine.
We got fruit cocktail & peaches & then came the speeches.
Oh, manful shouting; they never heard such spouting
for the things that could happen, you never heard such clapping.
It was his intention to give everyone a pension
and there’s no need to mention it went down very well.
All the bog land he’d drain & make a good playground
and plough up the lay land for potatoes we’d sell.
England would buy them & their chip shops would fry them
Or else we would dry them & wrap them up well.
Ah, but you know the TDs how they blow like a breeze.
They would empty the seas when an election is near.
They’d clap like the thunder & they’d hide every blunder.
But then they’d get lazy & take it quiet easy.
They’d drive you just crazy if you took any heed.
But they are all just the same & it’s damn hard to blame them;
You wouldn’t dare name them for there isn’t much need.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MO AND ROLY
Hope you have a lovely day to celebrate it.
It's freezing here, blue sky, bright sunshine and thick white frost........ just the way Stephen likes it.
Jean, I'm really pleased you got good results, it's great news.
Just waiting for Rita's results now........ keeping my fingers crossed for you Rita.
Mo, your pains might ease a bit when we get warmer weather, maybe you could slip into Linda's case and have a bit of sunshine. Or post yourself over to Marilyn.
My daffs aren't in bud yet but my frogs have all spawned 2 weeks earlier than normal.
Ah, the Pimpernel is back!
Hope you have a great time Linda.

Jean I'm glad your scan results were good.
Cold but dry here today.
Back later
Cath xx

Thank you all for the good wishes
I will try and smuggle some sunshine back in my case.
Sometimes it works as we usually go away at this time of the year. If Marilyn brings some back too then maybe Spring will really start
Be back in about 10 days
Linda :o) XxX

Hi all
Keeping fingers crossed for you Rita for Thursday
Happy Anniversary to Mo and Roly for tomorrow
Jean was it today you had your scan or is it tomorrow, hope all goes well
I sent off for a couple of certs last Friday, one is for my gt grandmother on my mum's side, I hope its the right one had problems tracing her on bmd index, I think her surname has been transcribed wrong, I will find out when it arrives. GRO don't seem to do matching father's or mother's name anymore where they refund you some of the money if the details don't fit.

Dermot,
I look forward to the story of the Irish Election!
Stephen I haven't seen any daffies yet!
Occasionally I have heard some birds sing!
|
|
"They seek him here, they seek him there
Those Frenchies seek him everywhere
Is he in heaven or is he in hell?
That demned elusive Pimpernel."
Here I is!
Might have a small bit of nonsense tomorrow about the recent Irish election.

DERMOT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
WHERE ARE YOU ?

Evening all,
Mo and Roly......no hanky panky to celebrate.......ROFL
Rita, of course you will be worried......that's normal.......your friends are here to support you.
If it's any consolation my wife has suggested I need a Head Transplant.
One with a face back and front.
Her reasoning to that is that most of the time she dosen't know if I'm coming or going.ROFL
What a glorious day here today. Clear skies and sunshine, dawn till dusk.
My daffodils are sprouting like nothing on earth. Looking forward to the first blooms.
The birds are singing in the mornings, that's music to my ears, lovely.
Hope all are well. Pop back in later.
