mass migration

by Pat Darnell

why are there
migrations en mass
reasons are many
and everywhere --
floods and tectonics
drought and famine
inflation a' plenty

excessive taxes
monotonous fascists
nationalized utilities
jail-house inconveniences
scarce food and services

like tumors rise
to boomer sooner
and guess what
it comes as a surprise

squatters and frogs
emmets and tourists
street and building cleaners
road working purists

someone out there
has to clean the bogs !!
why not starving Irish
and pithy yobs?
