John and Ian desperately wanted to find a British
establishment.
Scouse hoped he could find a decent game of
darts.
Ioan longed for both.
Sean and Yannis figured what the
heck...
So, the driver began the short drive to a
Brit bar with which he was familar.
And thus began a discussion of what the British
call, "The Irish Question",
and the Irish call, "The
Troubles".
John, the Englishman, was very embarrassed,
poor man wished
he could crawl under the
motorcar.
Ioan, the Welshman, really didn't
have much of an opinion.
Ian, the Scott, claimed that Northern
Ireland was British, end of discussion.
Yannis, our American friend,
loudly proclaimed that there would never be peace in Ireland as long as it was
divided.
Sean, our lad from Dublin, said
in his heart, he longed for a united Ireland, but it was not worth anyone
dying over.
And Scouse, well, of the six,
he was the only one who had ever been to Northern Ireland. Scouse had been in Her Majesty's
Service. Not being one to mince words, he
asked, "Any of you ever been to bleedin' Northern
Ireland?" None of the other five had. Scouse said, "So
what makes you think you have anything to say about
it, anyway?" Thus, Scouse had the last word. And he was
happy.

The song playing now is called "Johnny, I Hardly
Knew Ye". It is playing for all who have had injury, death
or heartbreak in the quest for peace.
