Letting Rip, Knock Poem by Sheena Blackhall

Letting Rip, Knock



In an Irish Charity shop I encountered
A third order lay Franciscan,
Who let one rip, and said with Falstaffian charm
‘Were you after hearing that now? '

Oh, he was as full of smiles and wiles
As a basketful of ferrets
He was Ireland wearing its Blarney mask
Hiding its bleeding heart

Calvin would never have let one go like that
Too mean to share the humanity of a fart.
