A United Ireland, with tariff-free
Irish whiskey to ‘sláinte’ freedom to.
Policy changes on the 18th hole;
with armoured cars, no tanks, but guns,
and Waterford crystal trophies.
A Paisley-patterned shirt receives
smelling salts at the bar, washed
down with a pint of the black stuff –
head spinning. Fodder for the ego
flying out, over the stormy seas left
in his wake. A wild Atlantic weekend.
Cease fire.
