Spare a euro (60,000) for a poor politician

A poetical tribute to Moriarty ,and others..

Hard times in St Lukes Drumcondra.
Hard times in St Lukes Drumcondra.

An old vulture named Hockey
Got exceedingly cocky,
While he feathered his lair near Kinsealy,
He proceeded to milk,
Ben Dunne and his ilk,
Did he do them some favours ?- not really.!

The Lesser -Beaked Bertie
Got exceedingly shirty
when accused of a like minded crime,
Some money was found-it was just a whipround,
and you all know he hadnt a dime.!"

With artful cunning
Performance quite stunning,
His soul he laid bare to the nation,
RTE said "Dont cry,
Take that tear from your eye,
For we know twas a bad situation.!"

Your wife and her shysters
Dined on champagne and oysters,
While you slept out rough in "St Lukes"
Thank God you avoided
The troubles outside it
Builders,and bankers, are far the worse crooks.!

But now your in clover,
Your trials are over,
Youve reaped the rewards of your toil:
Each mortgage, stamp duty,
Daily adds to your booty,
5 more years are assured with such guile.

Your vice is not Greed,
Power is all that you need,
Being called "Boss" at the end of each day.
But its hard to contain,
The avarice & Gain,
Of T.D.s as they frolic and play.

When you climb up a tree,
Find an errant T.D.,
Uncovered, by media hacks;
To the "Gene Pool" he goes,
Or to worser woes,
Arbour Hill, for evasion of tax.!

Their sworn testimony,
Is pure baloney,
With bluster, and lies, we contend,
But frozen sleet,
On a Moscow street,
Quickly brought that charade to and end.
