He said What?

Hi Mervyn,

I always feel that Irish writers should be handicapped in some way - perhaps made to end each stanza or paragraph with a word ending in the letter Z.

So comfortable are the Irish with rythm and cadence however that i sdoubt een this would prevent their pre-eminence with language.

Let's face it, even George best was a poet!

You have probably gathered that i am wholly impressed with this poem. it has the elusive haunting quality that all 'eminscence' poetry must attain - but so few do.

I look forward to reading more in this series.

Best wishes
