Ciaran O'Driscoll: WHAT THE ANGELS SAY

Saturday, 6 June 2020

Here’s what the angels say.

They look at me and say

He’s had a few scoops.

That’s what the angels say.

Will you look at him, they say,

with everything under padlocks,

and him drinking Burgundy

and playing his squeezebox.

And the state of the world

and the shortage of sanity

and the dearth of angel dust!

And will ya look at him they say

heading off to Italy

in the middle of the Covid,

reciting into his mask,

thinking he's good as Ovid.
