http://petesholidaypoems.blogspot.com/2008/10/dragonfly.html
A series of light verse written by the pool on various Summer holidays. Wednesday, October 1, 2008. The massive purple dragonfly. Sat humming by the pool. He was an inoffensive guy,. Just trying to keep cool. Then Emmet sent a tidal wave. Of water ‘pon its head,. And though we tried our best to save. Him, Dragonfly was dead. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Buy now €10.

Shels in Europe 2004
http://shelsineurope2004.blogspot.com/2007/09/pilgrimage-to-knock-bus-departs-at.html
Shels in Europe 2004. Back in the Summer of 2004, Shelbourne FC, Ireland’s representatives in the Champions League, went further in the competition than any club before or since. Okay, not a long run by English, Spanish or Italian standards, but in the context of Irish football, a veritable odyssey. Sunday, September 2, 2007. The bus departs at eight o’clock,. And booking is essential. The annual pilgrimage to Knock. We’ll go around the church three times,. And when the church bell slowly chimes,. In lat...

World Cup 2006: August 2007
http://worldcup2006verse.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 22, 2007. You’re more than a thousand summers to me,. My morning, my noon and my night,. You stole in my chamber and set my heart free,. And put all my demons to flight. You raise up my spirits when dark clouds approach,. You warm me when winter’s begun. You warn the wild animals not to encroach,. And fire me with strength from the sun. I think of you only when women flock round,. I dream of your sweet-smelling hair,. My love for you still is so pure and profound,. World Cup 2006 Day One.

http://petesholidaypoems.blogspot.com/2008/10/turbulence.html
A series of light verse written by the pool on various Summer holidays. Wednesday, October 1, 2008. The ‘Fasten Seatbelts’ sign came on. As we were flying to Crete. The stewardess announced that one. Should go back to one’s seat. The public took it in their stride,. The seatbelts all clicked true. And then the pilot came outside. And went into the loo. The only bleedin' turbulence is in that feller's stomach.". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Buy now €10. If dedication required, please detail. Though...

Pete's Football Articles: The Chicken and the Egg
http://petesfootie.blogspot.com/2007/09/chicken-and-egg.html
A series of League of Ireland football articles mainly written some time around 2002 / 2003 for the Online now-defunct HospitalPass magazine. Wednesday, September 26, 2007. The Chicken and the Egg. I realise that I will be accused of having no faith in our ability to progress. By nature I am pessimistic in football terms, believing that confidence frequently begets a fall, but I doubt there would be many arguments with the predictions above. Our club sides are now expected to beat the minnows – the...

A series of League of Ireland football articles mainly written some time around 2002 / 2003 for the Online now-defunct HospitalPass magazine. Wednesday, September 26, 2007. To Hell or the Connaught Street End. Great, I thought. Football in heaven. I nudged the angel next to me. “Who’s playing? 8221; I asked. 8220;That can’t be….” I said. “Pat Dolan the referee? No, I hadn’t known, but it explained a lot. However, my idle musings were interrupted by the roar of the crowd. Hannibal Lector had...The game co...

A series of League of Ireland football articles mainly written some time around 2002 / 2003 for the Online now-defunct HospitalPass magazine. Wednesday, September 26, 2007. The Magic of the Cup. Aaahh, the Cup. Don’t you just love it? In addition to this mayhem, its also the time of the year when small football clubs are paired with larger football clubs. And when the smaller club wins, draws or loses 5-0, this is called “The Magic of the Cup.”. A suspicious-looking character with a bald head then deciph...
