Seamus said he dug with his
But I am less of farming stock
Frustrated by the daily mis’
My pen prefers the short, sharp, shock
So taking from old movies, scenes
That better fit my present snit
I’ll borrow Action from my teens
While nib’s still sharp – I’ll stab with it.
Great stab, Katherine! Heaney would approve! 🙂
Thanks!
Seamus Heaney once hit on my girlfriend at the Bologna Book Fair in 200….4? 5? I was so proud!
I remember you mentioning something about this before. As I recall she had a witty comeback.
Did she? I seemed to recall she thought long and hard about it 🙂
