Next day Derek had plans to go far
Dorsey Island by cable car
Double oats for brekkie
“You can’t have too many”
So that’s why he bulk buys cereal bar
“My backside is killing”, Mike grunts
“I’m fighting a war on all fronts
But the application of cream
Works like a dream”
Says Fran, “I’ll try anything once”.
Mike’s bike made a clanking sound
Every time the pedal went round
Lunch in Kenmare
For cycle repair
Ten euros, no improvement was found
We stopped for tea in Sneem
So Derek could rejoin the team
Mark went in the car
To find the best bar
When last was “The Villa” supreme?
Now I know I shouldn’t be meddling
But Derek’s cycling is quite unsettling
On an uphill stretch
Impossible to catch
Downhilll, I can pass without pedalling
We roared into Waterville on fire
The seafront did truly inspire
The marvellous view
Chaplin’s statue
And one of the great Mick O’Dwyer
O’Dwyer had great footballing sense
A Kerry hero, of spirit intense
Ronaldo’s hat-trick
Might have been magic
But does he have a shrine in the gents?
