Since I am an amateur when it comes to poetry I will suggest that you read two poems by Rudyard Kipling. They are "TOMMY" and "GUNGA DIN". Just go to google and type in "The Poems of Rudyard Kipling". I think you will enjoy them.
Thanks Camac for the tip. I did not know Ruyard Kipling and from a few that I saw I think if I'm not mistaking that he was Irish?
Anyways, I did printed "Tommy" and "Gunga Din" which is about gin and I did print "Ulster".
This will be good reading while sipping a good scotch. The hell with migraines at least I'll know why I end up with one.
By the way, I spoiled myself last week-end and bought a bottle of Glenfiddich.

LOA;
I'm sorry to say My Lady that Rudyard Kipling wasn't Irish. He was born and raised in Calcutta, India, of English parents. After schooling in England he returned to India and worked as a Newspaper reporter. He wrote many poems and books which included Kim, and The Jungle Book. His poems are a bit difficult to read as the are written in the venacular (slang) of the day. Gunga Din isn't about gin its about an untouchable who is a water carrier in the British India Army.
I haven't had the time to read them yet because I was at work and only read a few lines here and there. So let me take the time to read them carefully and I'll get back to you with what I think.
And from the poem, the film, Gunga Din was one of my favorite movies of all time!
My father was a very big Rudyard Kipling fan.

USN;
Sam Jaffe became famous for playing Gunga Din. If I remember correctly Cary Grant, Douglas Fairbanks jr and Victor McLaglen were also in it. "Your a better man than I am Gunga Din".
Yes John so true, too many friends is not real and true also that things just pops up from my head and between you and me it usually bugs the husband when I do that. I would say things to him that just popped up from my head and he would look at me and ask if it's a nice conversation with myself that I'm having!!!
