’Sí do mhaimeo í, ’sí do mhaimeo í
’Sí do mhaimeo í, cailleach an airgid
’Sí do mhaimeo í, ó Bhaile Inis Mhóir í
’S chuirfeadh sí cóistí ar bhóithre Cois Fharraige
Dá bhfeicfeá’ an "steam" ’ghabhail siar Tóin Uí Loin’
’S na rothaí ’ghabhail timpeall siar ó na ceathrúnaí
Chaithfeadh sí ’n stiúir naoi n-vair’ ar a cúl
’S ní choinneodh sí siúl le cailleach an airgid
So I kicked them out with a scornful roar;
Yet, oh, they turned at the garret door;
Quietly there they spoke once more:
"The tale is not all told.
It's au revoir, but it's not good-by;
We're yours, old chap, till the day you die;
Laugh on, you fool! Oh, you'll never defy
Hunger and Thirst and Cold."

Gone Feral on February 26, 2006Hi Nick. We came back. We have not left SS, but we decide we miss slinking around here. Maybe we hoped too much.

jaunty pill on February 7, 2006
About " the elitist contest judges "....At the moment we have not set aside the next event that will take place in the group between members or outside allpoetry members. At the most , I would just get comfortable with the threads , Read through what has been going on , And sit tight until the next event is put together. Which shall be soon , Hopefully. Me and slaughter are sitting on several ideas as we speak and are hoping to put something together that the group of judges may take part in.
Hope this informs a little better.
All the best and thanks for taking part ,
James
