“Better to humour them politely
Or to resign very quietly
But if you opt to fight like a cat
Bear in mind, you could die like a rat”
Barry Jacob, The Lockdown Collection

“Brexit means Brexit
In this she was being upfront
But her only reward from some
Would be a hot knife in her front”
Barry Jacob, The Lockdown Collection

“Might not get Easter or Paddy’s Day
But Leo says maybe! Who’s he to say
Men need their bets, pints and Grubb
So Tony, Phil and Ronan let us go to the pub.”
