   “Some journeys I've gone on for pleasure...”

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   Some journeys I've gone on for pleasure. some too have been allied with pain.
   But one I recall with amusement.
   'Twas a journey to Limerick by train.

   Having business to do in the city.
   I set out one morning at eight.
   And walked to the station quite briskly.
   Lest I for the train should be late.

   In the latter I sat near a farmer of the time.
   He to me did complain how cattle were selling for nothing.
   And the crops could not be sown with the rain.

   A gentleman sat in the corner.
   No heed to our chat did he pay.
   he seemed quite engrossed in his paper.
   And his hat on the seat near him lay.

   A woman with two heavy baskets.
   and I said that they eggs did contain.
   Rushed in to us at the next station.
   Saying I was nearly late for the train.
