CurlinessI am a girl with a curl
In the middle of my forehead When I am good I am very very good But when I am bad I am horrid: I have no grace I don’t cheer & grin I have a wonky face Don’t have big white teeth Or hair that fits in I hunch & create Chaos in this man-made place I aint your cheer-leader Side-kick, the “Mrs” Or your damned kid feeder I am darkness Sent to crush Your plastic dreams Like a leader I am. - but not quite; I’m a curly wurly doll With black eyes You’ve had the keys too long! Crippled us, we can’t fly Hand them over with a song And a dance Mr Man Sometimes people say “don’t Make a song and a dance about it!” But do! Oh please do! And wobble yourself Topple yourself Your buildings and foundations Till they crack smack WHACK And from them up up UP I rise So get ready for me Little wee me like a daisy (in the cracked pavement) I am. Or am I? You don’t see me Coming cos I have a curl (Sweet little girl) In the middle of my forehead And when I am good I am very very good But when I am bad I am WOMAN

The Day Shall Declare It at Bush BazaarI went to the Bush recently to see the mad pix & mix festival called the, "Bush Bazaar". The whole building was taken over and there were a myriad of things you could do and see. One of my favourite things by far was, "The Day Shall Declare It" upstairs in the Attic. It was produced by theatre company, This Is The Wilderness and it was a beauty! It is probably one of the most beautiful things I've seen at the theatre for a long time. I don't want to say too much about it as I don't want to give anything away. It's not on at the Bush anymore but they may be doing more dates of it elsewhere. If you can, do go see it. You will not regret it. Here is their website.
The London Olympics were a great success both for the British and the Irish. Our very own Katie Taylor got us a gold medal in Women's Boxing. Fantastic celebrations were had! OH, and here is a very funny Seán Bán Breathnach getting all emotional when Katie is named the winner at about 18 minutes in. |
