Skipping Around Cork at Christmas

Christmas 2021 Though it in the deep Pandemic, In Cork city,, We again, stir ourselves, Preparing for our Christmas giving. I pass the popular Brown Thomas, And admire those Christmas icons in Guineys, And the calling of the brightly lit windows. The diverse street players catch my ears, I observe a street artist, Exhibiting his latest creation, And I glance into Dubray, The latest Cork bookshop, Where I spot old Haughy and McGahen, Waiting for readers to buy their tales. And the ever famous English Market, Draws me in, And where I talk to a man Selling tea shirts. After roaming the streets, I pray at the crib in St. Augustine's. Then I saunter down that River Lee, And listen to the Share girls, Wishing the world A Happy Christmas!
