Ae Freislighe


The Rescue

The City of Kilkenny,
On the banks of Nore River.
While high on a balcony,
Saw scene that made me shiver.

A boat drifting speedily
Toward some dangerous rapids.
They awaited greedily
As river grew less placid.

Kids within grew panicky.
I held my breath in worry.
The two screamed most drastically.
Someone had better hurry.

I said a prayer earnestly,
And soon I heard a whirring.
A boater came purposely.
Tears had my vision blurring.

The man performed heroics
And saved the kids I pitied.
God is Lord of aquatics
And Lord of all the city.
