Paddy Irish Man.

A Poem by Thomas Fitzgerald

For all those Irish men - like me!!

The Irish man in all his glory,

All his red curls, his entire story,

Rough hands from the farm,

Smooth hair from clear waters,

Unrest in the mind,

The cows out to slaughter,

From hill to glen,

Across this great country,

A secret kept,

From all that is sundry,

From Paddy to Jack,

From east to west,

We are the Irish,

We are the best.

Just something plain for my mother land.

There is no finer simplicity than the truth & here it is. Storytelling in snapshot, like a guiness at twilight.

Best friends in the Army were the Irish. We had a lot in common. Drinking and woman. I was in Ireland a long time ago in 1077-1978. Me and a friend roamed Europe. I got drunk and sang songs in Dublin at a Pub. It was a good day. A excellent poem for a strong people who overcame a lot to stand strong today.
