BARBING PHIL

JOURNAL#17

my dear Mr. Donahue

with your impudent pugnacious Irish nose

you sling out so carelessly

questions about talent and adulation

meant to put me off my breakfast I suppose

I eventually get back my own

and have bested many of those that I have

met

yet you my dear sir

must be the better man

for taking you a notch down by bellying you up

I have not quite managed to do so

yet

but lend me just one clean sheet of paper

and I'll pen you down

wit first like an Irish flat

with egg upon your cranky face

still sticky and messy wet

just like your commentary..........

(Early 90's)
