The Firmer Ground Of Poetry
Win, lose or grow up
It’s not for you
The ale is flowing
The craic is growing
Yes, the laughter is an ocean
And only what’s ship-shape will float
The line that’s to deck you
Catch or fail to grasp it
Is a life-line all the same
Stranded come morn none the wiser
But with pockets lighter
The swelling teardrop means
It IS for you
You grasp it to your heart
You’d jump straight back into the King’s Arms
But skip a new found route
