The Road to Ballybunion

Connor Pass, 1400 feet high 

The biggest climb we would try

Nervous start in the wet

We made it no sweat

The other side was sunny and dry

We barrelled along to Ardfert

For Ballyheigue the coast we did skirt

A tea that was cordial

By Casement’s memorial

But why does my backside still hurt?

To Ballybunion we arrived with a sprint on

It’s a place that reminds me of Frinton

Cheap and tawdry feel

But a good Chinese meal

By the statue of William J Clinton

To the Exchange for more music & beer 

Dermot’s fingerwork fancy & clear

Stand-up-Tony, demented

Johnny Cash reinvented 

First, as ever, “From Clare to Here”
