Killarney Rose

Joe’s chickenhawk chatter cuts through the corned beef miasma of
the Killarney Rose
Listen to the clatter of the pastrami platter
Good thing Joe’s just a ferry ride home
Joey reads things – he’s big on intrigue – wild unsubstantiated
geopolitical intrigue
Joey senses things – we sense that he’s suffering a bad, bad
case of Al Qaeda fatigue
Probably ‘cause of Joe we get kicked out of the Rose – he goes
on and on about stuff he can’t control
He points out at the harbor in the night at the containers on the ships
floating by and he says,
“I bet no one checked those ships’ cargo”
He always says – on nights like this he says,
“It takes just one dirty bomb and then we’ll meet again at any
bar owned by Sammy Hagar”
