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!
