It’s ten minutes to two in the morning
I’m on this ship with half an hour to spare
Before it starts its Irish Sea crossing
From Holyhead to Dublin over there
In Ireland. When I drive off, not sure where
I’ll go, perhaps through Carlow, Kilkenny
And Waterford, hearing an Irish air
From Van the Man Morrison, well, maybe
Been on this boat before, just over three
Years ago, when, like now, I was driving
My dark red Fiesta. Some have just chairs
But I’m on the leather sofa, comfy
And looking forward to some relaxing -
If not actual sleeping sur la mer…
Tue 22 December
