Idling times
 |
| High Nellies/Laracor |
This way or that,
Plotting the itinerary
Salient points.
Dustings...
Of French chalk
And petroleum jelly
Withered leaves
And the Sturmey-Archers,
Boneshakers!
A Sunday
Up in Jones's Road
Getting to know you.
The Backs going back
And the roar of the crowd!
Amhrán na BhFiann
Out with the big fellas
The emergencies,
Patched up along
The Boyne.
And the "Bona Fides"
Trading names
Like Raleigh and Rudge
And Hercules.
Fined five shillings
The short cut
Home.
And Glory be to God!
But the postmistress models
Sheltering in the rain,
High Nellies
And the strawberry
Boaters.
The tales of the tape!
Votaries of the
Road!
Frank Murphy.
