I know God is busy He has so many things to be managed

People are sick and tired when so many liaisons are damaged

People have a favorite team and they pray that they will succeed

Others pray that Tiger Woods putts to be frequently in the lead

There is so much praying for teams leading up to the super bowl

And when they are playing ice hockey they pray for the winning goal

Some people pray the Yankee team pull it out in the ninth inning

Or that their pick of horses in the Derby will wind up winning

Some smart girls pray for a rich handsome man to be her lawful spouse

Then say the rosary so they will find an inexpensive house

Students suddenly find religion a few nights before exams

And on Sundays farmers pray for sunshine and rain for healthy yams

After smoking for fifty years some people pray for better health

And the poor people beg the heavens for prosperity and wealth

Millions pray they will win the lottery every Saturday night

And people pray for both fighters in the heavyweight title fight

Farmers pray for rain and beach goers pray vacation days are hot

And most motorists in Manhattan pray for a free parking spot

Most drivers pray like crazy when they see red police lights blinking

Sometimes prayers will not help especially if you were drinking

With all those opposing prayers He can hardly grant ten percent

Meanwhile over in Ukraine is he working on Russian repent?

Where self determination is day by day being slowly crushed

And a country of the most modern buildings is turned into dust

I met a pretty girl from Belfast and I was thrilled

Not only was she pretty she had a perfect build

I held the door open in a fancy Barre restaurant

I was going skiing in the mountains of Vermont

I casually mentioned to her that I was half starved

And would she join us where a turkey was being carved

When she agreed I was totally shocked and excited

So I took her over to where the candles were lighted

Within minutes of sitting she was quickly settling

Like an expert cyclist she was quickly pedaling

Everybody was saying hello she was quickly known

And in any conversation this girl could hold her own

When her lips and face smiled at me so did her sky blue eyes

I thought could she could easily become my lifetime prize

She seemed to like me and gave me her rapt attention

And extending the friendship seemed to be her intention

This was an exciting evening and totally unplanned

She spoke real good English which I could understand

When I said her accent did not come from County Down

She looked at me so puzzled with an inquiring frown

I asked her if she came over recently on the plane

She said I am not from Ulster I'm from Belfast in Maine

The years have gone bye quickly and I am all alone

The years I don't mind, being alone I'm not content

I'm wary of crowds socializing I oft postpone

When one minute turns into hours I often lament

If you only have a ten forget the shopping cart

My dollars are worth nothing because of inflation

I do not come out with many bags from the food mart

The biggest shock of all is in the petrol station

Years ago it was one for all a country complete

People could arbitrate without a college degree

The flags flew proudly in each town and on every street

Whether they were liberal or in the GOP

When ninety rolls around I would like to be alive

Not to be almost always broke and always needy

With so little riches left it is hard to survive

My meager pension in the pockets of the greedy

There is a lightness in my step in the air is spring
The circle is almost complete as round as a ring
The long cold days of winter have surely overstayed
We should have the new year at St. Patrick's Day parade
The cold and snow is behind and summer is coming
Birds are singing in trees and I hear some bees humming
Days are getting longer the clock has been updated
And flowers on fruit tress have newly been created
The birds are busy gathering twigs and other scraps
To create a sturdy nest that never will collapse
The nests will have many young ones after the eggs hatch
In olden days some clutches were raised in houses thatch
The grass on the hills and mountains is turning fresh green
It hasn't been this emerald since before Halloween
To destroy this yearly beauty surely is insane
Yet that's what's happening daily over in Ukraine
When there should be joy at the sight of a flower bud
Instead of greeting spring fields are stained in native blood

I felt helpless and alone I felt like I was tied

I could not get out of bed even though I tried

My mind said I was awake but I was still sleeping

I tried to communicate but I was not speaking

In my dreams I'm talking but no one else responds

Sometimes they are brunettes sometimes blondes

Most of my dreams are happy rarely violent

But no one talks to me they are always silent

The dream I had now happened forty years ago

In the cold of winter it was at least five below

I remember you so fondly you were so sweet and kind

I wonder why again you have come back in my mind

We exchanged pleasantry's often like mates do on ships

But in my dreams I want to hug you, and kiss your lips

I'm sure in years since you have made many hearts beat

And I hope you've met someone who made you life complete

I may be old and over the hill

But I still have some loving skill

There may be some snow on the top

I'm on the go I will not stop

In the belly there still is fire

And so far I did not retire

Many songs have still to be sung

About pretty girls who are young

My thoughts return to love each spring

I do not wear any flashy bling

For lasting true love I am yearning

With a cute girl who is discerning

Each Friday I try out my allure

To find a beauty who is mature

Like always I want to be among

A bunch of women who are young

I don't want girls uptight or snooty

And good hearted ones over beauty

I want an answer to my prayer

Not one who at  other men stare

I may not pick ones who are blondest

A brunette is often my fondest

I don't like girls with a catty tongue

That is shocking when girls are young

Want a catch but try to be modest

A blue sash if she is the hottest

I want to be envied I confess

My girl will wear a cut away dress

This year I like a senorita

She's Cuban her name is Rosita

I feel like by a bee I've been stung

When I fall for a girl who is young

I once had a real true love but now I have naught

I only cheated on her one time but I got caught

I though I would be forgiven but she's not that kind

So onto the garbage heap I have now been assigned

This one discretion began here in the Shamrock Bar

While she was on vacation over in Mullingar

I had just won the quiz show and I had a new fan

She said I love smart Irish men my name is Suzeanne

You should have seen this lovely glamourous blue eyed blond

'And after a few more drinks she started to respond

She asked if I could compose her an old fashioned ode

About the big city where the river Liffey flowed

When we talked of Dublin she continued to chatter

When she talked about me she continued to flatter

She loved my old poetry and she piled on the praise

And on this old white bearded face she fondly did gaze

With this sweet lassie I was soon becoming beguiled

It was charming when she laughed and magic when she smiled

An avid listener she hung on to every word

As the booze kept flowing my mind was becoming blurred

Next morning hung over I woke up over in Leeds

I don't even remember doing any bad deeds

Whatever happened I don't remember the details

When my wife came home she was told some wild raucous tales

On hearing my story my friend Angela advised

If you are a rolling stone you should soon be chastised

Moral of the story you have to be on your guard

Married men have to be careful in their own back yard
