An Irish Ballad updated

category national | miscellaneous | opinion/analysis author Wednesday December 21, 2005 20:02author by D. Raghallaigh - repost Report this post to the editors

A song to the Air of Kevin Barry

In a comfy Stormont Office
Sat an Irish rebel bold
On his back was an Armani
In his bank was British Gold

He was working for the Provos
And for the Peelers too
The Brits paid both his pay cheques
He was really quite a coup

Then the Branch they raided Stormont
And they seized computer disks
Sure it never worried Denis
For he knew of all the risks

But the truth it has come out now
An informer's been exposed
Neither Adams nor McGuinness
Knew the danger their friend posed

No longer can they kill him
Put a hood upon his head
For 'twould wreck their cosy lifestyles
Their ambitions would be dead

Lads like Gerry are no eejits
Lads like Gerry will go far
Sure they daren't rock the boat now
And lose their ministerial cars

Lads like Gerry will rule Ireland
From Stormont and the Dail
Paid informers aren't a problem
When you're bound for Fianna Fail

" But the truth it has come out now

Time will tell .....

Nice one, well done, but it's still a bit confusing - I was well into the third stanza and still thinking, "Yeah, that Adams really is some boyo..."
