A little bit of culture

[Frank Casey]

Came upon this recently about a famous son of Killarney

Triskaidekaphobia

An buachaillin rua
in his dancing shoes
Lone rangering
refuses to lose
Trouble maker always
battle and bruise

In the shadow of the post
in the face of the target
In the eye of the enemy
never to fret

Interconnects
Star duet
trio, quartet, quintet, sextet
Knuckle wrap
toe tap
Posing threat
creating havoc
causing upset

Pity poor marksman
shaking in his boots
What's up next
where will he drill
Left, right or centre
in for the kill
High or low
at will
Cross and curl
frill of skill

Eagleye
tight rope channel
when its right
divine right
territorial right
Spite, in spite
Travel light
speed of light
Knight in dark of night
Mite and mighty
Swift and silent
powerful pounce
kite flight
out of sight
some fright
no fight
sharp knife
flick incision
such plight

From the floor
sky high
in the gwal

Look listen learn
three card trick
always another in his sleeve
oh so quick

Ball Magnet
running, standing
Meet and greet
trick or treat
discreet receit
no retreat
Create space
route one war path

Ballerina tip toe
rings round
springs back
headstand
dummy, hop and skip
Through needle's eye
or penetrate stone wall
Flash fast or slow stall
man and ball
in harmony

Target in sight
scents risk
sizes up
Sail up and over
delegate to running mate
Force feeding goal mouth
rasper rattling the net
down the throat

No jumping with joy
no lap of honour
only business as usual
All that's in the head
is what's going down next

Corner Boy in name
Corner Man in game
No pain no gain
no gain no fame
no acclaim
not the same
All is fair in love and war
all is fair game

Triskaidekaphobia
incurable it is
It is
the Fear of Number 13
Incurable as
Himself it is
