The Irish Myth

Do not belief a word of all you’ve heard...
the Irish. Chosen People ...as they are...
Do not like you!

...that is the truth....

They’ll eye you from under hawthorn brows..
And wonder...what can he give me now ?

Has he flattered me
And loved my song
Caressed my wit and charm?
Agreed that I belong
To all that is the best !

And as for suffering
Has he acknowledged
That we’re the underdogs ?

Does he hate
The British and the Jews
Detest all Protestants
And Blacks
Break all the rules
But love the Pope..?

If you agree that all the Irish politicians
Shine like stars
And GAA’s a passport to Mars

Well if you do you do all of the above
You might be one of us !’

They might begrudge it to you.
