Lock up your mothers (& your grandmothers)

I will be reading some poems at Stanzas in Limerick this Friday evening. For full details see here.

I have my passport to hand, have washed my thong and am all ready to go. 

People living in the general Limerick area are advised to lock up their mothers, their grandmothers, and - better to be safe than sorry - their great-grandmothers until myself and Mr Lordan have been safely escorted back to the border. 

All welcome.

New poem inspired by comments Vincent Woods made on the death of Anthony Cronin

A new poem ‘One Has To Admire His Ability As A Poet’, inspired by these comments Vincent Woods made on the death of Anthony Cronin, is just published on the excellent Poethead website. Before you read the poem, to get you in the mood, you should first put your underpants on your head and play the Youtube video below.
