When you come to a dead end sign
It’s usually wise to check your line
D and S go on straight
To a five-bar gate
Surely they’re in for a fine
For breakfast, we try not to dally
We’re headed to Ballynacally
Is Sammy now dead
Or still swingin’ the lead?
Or maybe he’s pedalling his Raleigh?
The Estuary Café’s a welcoming sight
Avocado and eggs seems just right
The woman is dour
Till a compliment shower
And she thinks of the bill that she’ll write
The Atlantic Way greets us at Kilmer
Where the estuary is quite a bit slimmer
Using the ferry trick
We’d have missed Limerick
Our circuit’d be three days trimmer.
“The Woodland” is heaven-sent
The detour is effort well-spent
A fine lunchtime location
And a surreal conversation
About the rules of Mornington Crescent
The finish is tranquil and clear
A lovely ride, not the best of the year
We get to our place
An oversized space
And no distance from Clare to here
