Luck of the Irish

Stupid

Always wanted an Irish
Accent

How do I say
Smith
With Irish accent
I asked
The barman

You need to change your name
Luv he advised

Pour me a drink
I’ll marry you

No good he said
My name is
Gunther

But you sound Irish
I said
Yes I know

He said
He was born at sea

His mum was Irish
His father
Jewish
But he was near Germany
So instead of giving him
A proper Irish name
He got lucky

Why lucky
I said

I never found out
But
If you wait a year
I’ll be divorced
Then we can marry


Goonther
Goooonther
I practiced all the way home

A great Irish name

No wonder they call me the town idiot
Spinster

He doesn’t even know how to pour a beer
I can’t marry that man

I confided to my black cat

I’ll change pubs tomorrow
Yeh

Maybe I’ll meet a mcdougall


That’s Scottish said my cat
You are a idiot he mouthed whilst eating his
Tinned sardines

I know I said back to black cat in my best Irish

Maybe mcgunther i mouthed twice

no mcgiiinther more like it said cat

Cats always bloody right

Smug Irish cat

I have love the Irish gals. They didn't trust me. They thought I was just a soldier trying to steal some kisses. I love the dance of words. I have drank with the Irish men and women. Both love to laugh, dance and fight. If you desire. Thank you dear Julie for sharing the amazing poetry. You made me smile.
