In Their Company

In Their Company

By Paul McCann

i took a wee dander up to the Star

sat down with Gerry and I had a jar

I heard some music

and laughter in there

and a great atmosphere for

us to share .

I went to the Shamrock

and took a seat ,

listened to all the Craic

that’s hard to beat

had a quiet pint

in the corner there

because I hadn’t much

money to spare .

Sometimes it’s good to go

just where I please ,

blowing through

and in and out

like a breeze

when you’ve only the price

for one or two ,

and no one wants to come

and sit with you .

Its nice to see them

sitting in the clubs

or even down town

in some of the pubs ,

I’m happy to be there ,

in my own way ,

to be in their company everyday .
