Subject: RE: BS: Have a Glorious Twelfth! (Drumcree Parade)
And furthermore my Irish American heritage includes writing songs in their honor.
1. About the soupers.
2. About leaving Dingle.
3. Dingle to Tralee -- about dragging a dying man in a cart to the workhouse in Tralee after you have eaten the donkey.
4. Jack Moriarty -- about the last dance between father and son and father putting his son on a coffin ship to New Brunswick.
5. Gross Isle -- about throwing the dead and alive off the ship with the alive dying in the mud after making it across the ocean and surviving the cholera on board
6. About the railroads and people dying of exhaustion building them.

I would like to make it 7 about people feeling free to insult my ancestors. mg
