Onehundred Eighty

The Irish Council Bill
Is it this you call Home Rule?
Says the Shan Van Vocht.
Do you take me for a fool?
Says the Shan Van Vocht.
To be sending round the hat.
Five-and-twenty years for that
Isn't good enough for Pat,
Says the Shan Van Vocht.
And the Lord-Lieutenant too,
Says the Shan Van Vocht,
Is he still to be on view?
Says the Shan Van Vocht.
And all them big police,
Monumentally obese,
Must I go on feeding these?
Says the Shan Van Vocht?
Susan Mitchell (1907)
