That's a good point Gumbud, having built on/in spare parts must be a good thing, you can even grow your own ear on your arm nowadays, I know a chap in politics and his head is growing further and further up his own ass.

Re: Gumbud Leisurely Scribbles (part 1)

A little note by way of explanation on the following, absolutely nothing to do with my previous post, but that’s what this thread is all about, scribbles.
Captain Boyle is a bit of a self made know-all and he was trying to explain how the stars in the sky came into being to his thick mate Jockser Daly, when he finishes his speech Jockser is none the wiser and just stares in ignorance at the Captain, the Captain in his wisdom decides to put it in a nutshell for him.
Captain Boyle: “I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realise that what you heard is not what I meant”
Jockser Daly: “Oh I see”

Sean O’Casey’s Play “Juno and the Paycock” 1923.

Waking the Dead - seems to be a reasonably popular detective series with a difference - but are we obsessed with justice old biblical sense despite the fact that it may be fictional anyway?

do we really need to wake the dead
or have they gone on way ahead
they've done their 'time' and now sublime
why are we obsessed with doing time?

we seem to have left in our psychi
an eye for eye and tooth mentality
there was a new message tooted about
forgive your enemies they're doing time no doubt

Are justice systems set in stone
an eye for eye is what we groan
is it because we want them back
and don't realize we're in same old track?

the law of the savanah plains
is dog eat dog no one to blame
If you believe God made is all
then get on with life don't sup the gaul!

Re: Gumbud Leisurely Scribbles (part 1)

One of the few poems dedicated to the ordinary mans pint. A pint of 'Plain' was a cheaper version of Guinness's 'Stout' but Guinness brewed it all they same, it is no longer available in Dublin. I think this was written in 1950.


"The Workman's Friend"

When things go wrong and will not come right,
Though you do the best you can,
When life looks black as the hour of night -
A pint of plain is your only man.

When money's tight and hard to get
And your horse has also ran,
When all you have is a heap of debt -
A pint of plain is your only man.

When health is bad and your heart feels strange,
And your face is pale and wan,
When doctors say you need a change,
A pint of plain is your only man.

When food is scarce and your larder bare
And no rashers grease your pan,
When hunger grows as your meals are rare -
A pint of plain is your only man.

In time of trouble and lousey strife,
You have still got a darlint plan
You still can turn to a brighter life -
A pint of plain is your only man.

-- Flann O'Brien (Brian O'Nolan)
