The Lands of Tib and Tom

by

Hay Machine

The reign of mad King George III
remembered for defeat
saw Dublin rise on Gandon's tide
down many a Georgian street

When you walk from the end of Ely Place
where Stoker and Gogarty played
see what we lost where the General slept
when the townies began to parade

Yellow-beaked thrush with your constant eye
on the Lands of Tib and of Tom
you are still the same today as then
it's we that have gone wrong

NEXT?
Why don't you look at I often think
