Leave Them Alone

My previous post (“Audacity”) obviously does not belong under “Irish Matters” (even though it criticizes O’Bama)– if I knew how to change categories on that one I would.  I’m still trying to learn the ropes on this blogging business.

So here’s a real Irish item, from a poem by Patrick Kavanagh, “Leave Them Alone”– on not ranting and raving too much about what we read in the news (or on the internet!):

The whole hysterical passing show
The hour apotheosized
Into a cul-de-sac will go
And not even be despised.
