Ode to the Irish Pub (Ode) by mindsigns

Over in Kinsale the band began to wail the drinks were flowing freely to the different types of people who've come in to share a jar or to keep their troubles far where a pint might make a difference in every reminiscence. Well, we're drinking and we're drinking we're drowning and we're thinking that this night might last forever and no more nasty weather with our pockets full of holes as we gather down the dole The women are in protest for their lack of beauty rest. Raise your hand if you are sober then we'll bring another over you don't want to be left out from this lovely Irish stout. Let us toast our merry glasses and try not to act like asses because we're Irish and we're proud but we're getting rather loud singing.. "We drink to live, we drink to die we drink to laugh and cry we drink to O'Kenary and the lonely passerby we drink and dance to old romance we drink for loved ones lost. Drink up to all those memories no matter what the cost."

The Scottish are usually too strung out on Tennants and Smack to build on anything, instead they invite the English to build their homes for them. Whilst the Irish will gladly tarmac over anything as long as they get paid by Europe.

I know this is a big generalisation and does not have enough factual reference points for Dovina, but the Irish "tiger" economy is increasing the number of white collar "professionals" who fancy their chances at a bit of social mountaineering. The misapprehension that primarily, but not exclusively, the Americans cling to, like a pair of 3-day old pants, is that the Irish are all Blarney talking, cheerful chaps who sing and dance and carouse. When they are actually a bunch of nasty bastards.
