The news today has been about Ireland
A great place with fun people, simple food
And lots of rain which makes it green, and grand
(A word they use quite often.) But a rude
Awakening has shaken and pursued
Them down each quiet lane to each big house
Recently built in the good times which threw
Droplets of silver from the sky. It throws
Just rain again now, since it's been disclosed
That Ireland's debt has got well out of hand
And belts have been tightened so much, they're glued
In place painfully. The deficit grows
To Greek levels. The Eurocrats had planned
Monetary union. Was that idea flawed?
