The Road to Ballyvaughan<\/h2>

Coming back from Inishm\u00f3r
It\u2019s perfect for the Cliffs of Moher
We\u2019re all agreed
Except for Steve
Just what is democracy for?<\/p>

While those in the back raise objections
The man in the front gives directions
With Steve we\u2019re narked
But abuse shifts to Mark
Wrong turns at three intersections<\/p>

In the morn, Mark\u2019s in sandwich production
And we have our usual breakfast ructions
First it\u2019s hardly a crime
To get up before time
Then it’s Derek\u2019s overnight deductions<\/p><\/div>

But the boys find a route round the bay
And there really is no need to pay
We meet on the path
And there\u2019s no sign of wrath
As the tourist hordes get in the way<\/p>

The cliffs are a wondrous sight
Especially in bright sunny light
Then masses gather round
To hear a strange sound
As we perform to the busker\u2019s delight<\/p>

Surely nothing could be finer
Than skinny-dipping at Gleninagh
Before an audacious request
From which we\u2019re all truly blessed
When Catherine gets out her best china<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
