Old bar is at 125+ posts, so here's another one to lead us into the weekend and the holiday following it. Y'all drink up, you know how the Irish like to do it.

I'm amazed that someone who can watch and help take apart human corpses is disgusted by a little dirty water. Huh. Despite a few small examples of that terminology, it really is a great poem, and wonderful for reciting with a group of ex-Rangers at a Tavern off in the woods.

Gunga Din is a poem written by Rudyard Kipling (same person who wrote The Jungle Book), and if anyone wants to read it, here is a link:

*sings*
As I was going over the far famed Kerry mountains
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting.
I first produced my pistol, and then produced my rapier.
Said stand and deliver, for ye are a bold deceiver
musha ring dumma do damma da
whack for the daddy 'ol
whack for the daddy 'ol
there's whiskey in the jar

*leaves hugs and chocolate for any that want them*

But as the Irish band that played at my wedding said - "No Daniel O'fucking-Donnell!!"

*sings horribly* "Thousands are sailing, across the western ocean..."

Doesn't every Pogues song sound like the end of a lock-in?

The short answer is yes:

To a land of opportunity
That some of them will never see
Fortune prevailing
Across the western ocean
Their bellies full
Their spirits free
They'll break the chains of poverty
And they'll dance

*takes serving tray and beats self rhythmically about the head*
