ROADS TO ENLIGHTENMENT
The Virgin Mary came to Ennis
When I was a little boy,
And yet, religious as you will see,
I wasn't fooled — and why?
I could not believe she really came,
I could not, would not, agree,
That she'd come to see some other child
And pay no heed to me:
I knew with jealous certainty
That this absurdity could not be!
