Another ode to Letitia

Ann's away, there is no craic.
We all wish she'd hurry back.
No banter or no latest news.
How to prepare soup or stews.

Yesterday at the Oktoberfest.
I drunk for Ireland, gave my best.
A wurst with mustard in a bap.
Raw herrings in a roll on top.
Fruit dipped in chocolate I downed as well.
Today my stomach's playing hell.
