A Garda Dilemma by Christy Parker
by Christy Parker
A bloke that I knew got caught in the act
Interfering with a squad car, was what ’twas in fact.
Interfering in a manner that was virtuously wrong
He said ’twas the blue light on the top turned him on…
To further compound the man’s situation
The alluring white car was parked outside the station
And fifteen moral guardians [...]

After Killeagh by Christy Parker
by Christy Parker

Ten fire brigades can’t fight this Hades
Nor an ambulance get through
The man attired [...]
