I Had This Great Dream

I had this great dream that I was a poet A man seen as worthy of literary note A winner of many a literary prize My success to me even quite a surprise The fellow from Claraghatlea near Millstreet Town Had become a figure of literary renown In my chosen field I'd become a great name And I was enjoying the fruits of my literary fame At last recognized as one who could write Verses others felt happy for to recite But then I awoke to find it was a dream Though real and so wonderful it all did seem The magpie larks they were singing out pee wee And the magpies were piping in the park by the sea.
