Less Irish than a snake




When you're born poor and English, the first thing the 'gods' whisper to you is,




"You are born free and this life is your opportunity".




Like all dreams, the resonance is over before the meaning is construed.




This birthright is now almost universal, which is England's greatest triumph.




Happy Paddy.....

"Less Irish than a snake"...you made me smile.

When you're born poor and American, the first thing the gods whisper is, "You're fucked, and the rest of the world will hate you. Wanna buy some useless crap?"

Hi Fool, hope you're well.

I was a few too many Jamesons' and stout down when I wrote this.

The good folk were playing Irish, so I couldn't resist the snake quip.

And don't be so harsh on the US. We both love and hate yous with equal passion.
