Like Birdieing a Long Par Four

I’ve gotten to most of the county

Minding my way and comportment

Quayside number fourteen could be

A haven from haste apartment

Golf in the dunes of Donegal

St. Patrick’s Links play fast and firm

A wild Atlantic festival

We’re here again to re-confirm

And poke about to get the gist

The month of September stay there

And know the people in their midst

The rest is all buyer beware

The restaurants and way of life

My wife and I for two years now

Can note a pleasing lull of strife

To stride the links renews our vow.

A simple life our sole duty

Enjoy, as one, Ireland’s beauty.
