“HEAVEN CAN WAIT”
There’s many a road from Limerick
And directions that would test one’s belief
Some go to counties with City’s
While others to fields filled with beef
But there is one that is always a pleasure
Where you stop when you’re about halfway
To continue a lifetime tradition
Whiskey Eggnogs, at Fannie O’ Dea’s
Two or three is all that is needed
And a chat with many old friends
While the children engulfed in Milk Shakes
Made from the best of blends
Then onward to your destination
With the road tightening up you see
Eight miles beyond Kilrush
Is the Heaven they call Kilkee.
No matter how many times you’ve been there
It’s the first breathtaking view
As the Strand with the Golden Beach
Opens up and welcomes you
Shovels and buckets are everywhere
Georges Head nods a welcome as well
Beckoning you to swim over
To rest on her rocks for a spell
The Ocean rushes in on the Pollock Holes
So delightful and so very cool
And there, one of Gods Creations
The Pollock Holes, now Swimming Pools
Limerick men, wives and children
No matter where they might be
When asked “Where is Heaven? They say
“On The West Coast Of Ireland,
“KILKEE”
