A Limerick Semi-Sonnet...

As requested by Sam 'the hutch' Hutcninson.... A sonnet about Limerick (not quite a sonnet, but fuck that, have you ever tried to write a sonnet?)



In England people know about Limericks
But they know bugger all of the town
It’s reputations is that it’s full of dicks
No shortage of gangs, running around

It has been given the nickname ‘stab city’
Having worked hard to earn it for many a year
Although really that nickname’s a pity
For there’s so many ways that you could die here

I will admit this is slightly unfair
It’s got one or two things to redeem it
It’s got roads that lead to Kerry and Clare
And a place is as good as you deem it

However I’ll tell you this one thing for free
From Cornwall, right up to the highlands
I’d rather live in Limerick you see
‘Cus at least it’s on the right island
