A Poem For The New Year!

Forecast! 2012
The Ramparts Navan

Reading the tea leaves
You could make a bags of it.
How long was a piece of string
Or a good sign it must
Augur well.

A tall dark handsome man
And there was money coming
Tailoring to suit.

And the stinging rebuke!
To keep to sober habits
Or  the hair of a dog
Or a dock leaf
Ground out
Pestle and mortar
Well it might
Or it might not be
Suitable for embrocation.
Every rose has its thorns.

And the teaspoon
Stirring the pot!
The further up
The corporate body
You'd go
The closer you get
To you know what?

Tomorrow was
A new day!

(A Strange Brew)


Frank Murphy.


And a Happy New Year to all***
