Better a same-sex relationship between two right-thinking men than a mixed-sex relationship between a stalwart and a hunker-slider.

It's Bother Ike McKittery and my heart is all a-twittery (my bowels a wee bit skittery ... the nervousness you see). If it's true that you've got Orange blood then come and join me in the mud, the music we'd make would indeed be good in me tent in sweet Drumcree.

Neither Geordie, no nor Gordy, or any oul' McMordie would think that it was dorty for we two to do the deed. Since we share a drop of "sang réal", into my tent why don't you crawl? I'm sure we two could have a ball out here in the Drumcree field.

if its proof you need I could bring the "proud to be a baby prod" bib I was sent for one of my kids (I wish I was joking about that one.. but there you go)......... or can I just do a spelling test of some words with "h" in them?

And I said to my da, Gordon, this talk of her accordion, it's just some other wordin' for an oul' squeeze box. She's bein' euphemistic, perhaps a bit artistic, and you're so narcissistic that you didn't see the trap. The flute, of course, is phallic ... you dozy-minded ballick ... she's led you up an alley of dorty-minded crap! So beware, Ike McKittery that your heart is not soon flittery. Eeverything that's glittery is not all gold. I'd give this blade a miss, sir for if you tried to kiss her you'll be sucked in the abyss, sir. You have been told!

Houl' on to yer drawers girl! I'm on me way over! You might have a "Proud To Be Baby Prod" bib in your accoutrements, but I'm clutchin' my pack of "Proud To Prod A Prod" rubber johnnies in me fist as I write and I know who I'd like to use them on!!

So this'll be the last song you hear from me till I light on your doorstep.

There was a wild colonial boy
McKiittery was his name
He was born and r'ared in Ulster
In a place called Killicomaine
He was his father's only son
His mother's pride and joy
And dearly did his parents love
Their wild colonial boy

He went one day in proud display
To walk Garvaghy Road
But the b'ys who lived up thon oul' street
Near threatened to explode
"With yer whistlin' and your drummin'
We taigs will have no truck
So whisht your noise, ye billy boys
And go away to …. Hell"

And so for many lonely years
He camped out at Drumcree
A vigil for the Orange
Till Ulster would be free
Of the oul' Parades Commission
Who piss from a great height
On a rake of Orange marches
Which we claim as our birthright

Till a letter from Australia
From a blade who turned him on
Set oul' Ike a-thinkin
Of a new home in the sun
He thought long and hard upon it
Till up! without delay
He moved his Drumcree campsite
To the shore of Botany Bay

News has just reached us that Isaac McKittery's bid to be the first Orangeman to row single-handedly from Larne to Sydney has failed.

After 66 days at sea, authorities lost radio contact with the love-stricken billy-boy. Last night, the body of the middle-aged marching man was found washed up on a beach in Thailand. He was naked except for his beloved LOL 666 sash. This, and the new tattoo - a heart bearing the legend "Alison" - helped identify the body.

Police have confirmed that the sash was used to strangle Mr McKittery. They do not suspect a sectarian motive. However, they have confirmed that they have arrested an alleged "love rival" who goes by the name of Derryadd Sam.

Alison …

There's somethin' not right goin' on here. At first I thought it might have been the boys on the Falls spreadin' a smear. But I've figured it! It's thon dorty back-stabber Sam o' Derryadd.

Every time I get within a whiff of a coort, he's in leck a badger to drive them away.

Now take my advice, Alison and stay well clear of him. He's a nice-lookin' wee cottage right enough. But th'oul' hovel's fallin' to bits. You can see daylight through the thatch and the place is fair leppin' wi' wildlife o' every sort … mice, rats, flays, bed-bugs, clocks, eary-wigs and hairy eels. You wouldn't know if you were in a house or a David Attenborough programme.

As for Sam hisself; this wee song that follows'll gi'e you an idea of the class of character you're dealin' wi'. It goes to the air of "Donegal Danny".

DERRYADD SAMMY

I remember the night he first came in to our loyal Drumcree camp
A smelly oul' bugger, with shite on his boots, and a faint odour off him of the damp
He scratched his flabby arse and let out a great big fart and then he rifted long and loud – near made me boke
"How's it goin', lads? I'm big Sam o' Derryadd, come to join you loyal campin' folk"

CHORUS

So here's to those that are dead and gone
I wish that oul' Sam was in that crew
For he's fryin' my oul' head
From I wake till I hit bed
If I'd a hammer I would bate him black and blue

He picks his oul' nose and he fiddles with his toes (the smell is like a gorgonzola cheese)
His flies are always open (I reckon that he's hopin' it's a way to attract an oul' main squeeze!)
His teeth have never tasted paste and the dorty ignor'nt baste would like to give all weemin a quick grope
His head is full o' nits and his dingly-dangly bits have never been acquainted with the soap

Chorus

The size of his oul' butt and the girth of his oul' gut indicate that he's a glutton and a groo
He'd ate from dawn till eve, and anything you'd leave, he'd stuff it in his bake – I'm tellin' you
He's a gulpin and a carn, his mammy never larned him lessons about daycency and class
He's a shite-bag and a coolie, stains his trousers when he poolies, I could spend a fortnight kickin' his oul ass

Chorus

Portadown – 30th January 2002

From Our Special Correspondent

There's an air of anticipation here in Drumcree. The rift between supporters of Isaac McKittery and those of Samuel McAutry threatens to split the local Orange Order asunder. It is alleged that McAutry – otherwise known as Derryadd Sam – has been waging a smear campaign against his rival for the hand of "Ozzie Alison". Matters came to a head this morning when McKittery retaliated with a harsh rebuke of Sam for his lack of attention to personal hygiene and his cavalier disregard for decent manners.

Now the camp at Drumcree has split into two factions. Dapper McKittery – resplendent in full marching regalia – has returned from his feted attempt to row single-handedly from Larne to Melbourne. He has been gathering signatures for a covenant that pledges signatories to leave the old Orange Order and be initiated into his newly-formed "Loyal (To Alison) Orange Order of New South Wales via Edenderry" unless Brother McAutry is dismissed dishonourably from the Orange Order. For his part, McAutry has been attempting to win support for his motion that McKittery should be expelled from the Order.

McKittery has so far garnered some 20,000 signatures. McAutry only one, besides his own, and that from a boy from the Montiaghs who got confused by the milling crowds and thought he was signing for his dole money!

The Orange Order so far is keeping its cards close to its chest. But sources close to the Grand Master reveal that they are not treating the matter as a cause of serious concern. "A wee bit of controversy about a coortship never did any lasting harm, did it?" quipped a spokesman.

Oh aye?! Try telling that to Parnell!!

Date: 30 Jan 02 - 09:43 AM

The ugly scenes of the past few nights are behind us now. An uneasy peace has resumed in Portadown. The followers of Sam McAutry, the self-proclaimed High Priest Of Orangery have closed ranks around their now-elusive leader and the old guard who stood behind his rival, the late Isaac McKittery, now face the future with uncertainty.

But there was a veiled hint of more trouble to come in the graveside panegyric delivered over the corpse of McKittery by his great friend in life, Gordy McMordy, now in hiding – a wanted man. McMordy obviously suspects that the schism which the events of the past few days has opened up has been engineered by forces outside the Order …

"The Defenders of this Realm have worked well in secret and in the open. They think that they have pacified the orange. They think that they have purchased half of us and intimidated the other half. They think that they have foreseen everything, think that they have provided against everything; but the fools, the fools, the fools!---they have left us our orangeman dead, and while Ulster holds these graves, Ulster unfree shall never be at peace. "

We here at "the centre that cannot hold, but must" hold our breaths and pray to our Gods that commonsense will prevail.

Alison ...

On behalf of the few remaining Kitteryites, holed up in a arch of Shillington Bridge, to confirm that Brother McKittery is no longer with us. A great loss to the world of songwriting, a greater loss to the world of moderate orangery. But thank God his words are preserved for generations to come, that they may listen and learn from this great man.

But, hark! Alas the enemy is at the door. The Bann is a-fire and the brute forces of Derryaddism which have assailed us so often in the past few days are once again confonting us.

I go now to my own death.

Farewell, and remember

A little number I did on my 1690 comeback tour.

The Green, Green Grass of Home

Drumcree looks much the same.
On the hill above the plain,
Flaps the residence of Kittery and McAutry.
There's broken glass and wire that's barbed
And boys decked out in marching garb
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

Oh yes they'll all come to greet me
Arms outstretched and smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

My oul' tent is still standin'
And me sleepin' bag is dry
And there's the oul' latrine I used to wee in
Down the road I walk that's called Garvaghy
A trip that always makes me happy
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

Oh yes they'll all come to greet me
Arms outstretched and smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

The army and the lawmen
Say "Up the road you go, men!
Never mind the residents complaining"
And we play "The Ducks of Magheralin"
Even though the tune's a din
And then we play the Green Slopes Of The Boyne

Oh yes they'll all come to greet me
Arms outstretched and smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

But then I wake and look around me
A thousand cops surround me
And I realise that I was only dreamin'
For the hoors in thon oul' Walks Commission
On our parades are forever pishin'
So we're camped out on the green, green grass of home

Oh yes they've stifled our ambition
The hoors in the Walks Commission
So we're camped out on the green, green grass of home

Here's anawr one that I do from time to time … it's a song of great social and political import.

Oh Bob won't you give anawr degree
I don't mind the level if it's honorary
I don't want to do any study you see
Oh Bob won't you give me anwar degree

Howdy-doodie yez-all.

Philomena Begley, here. Norn Irn's quane of country … yes indeedie, the oul' Quane o' the Silver Dollar herself.

Now, I've been thinkin' that th'oul Orange icon tribute market's one I've not yet dabbled in. So in the interests of market research, could any well-informed orangemen (or weemin) tell us if this is likely to go anywhere. It's based on that oul' Elvis number "(Marie's The Name Of) His Latest Flame".

Paisley's The Name Of Her Latest Flame

A very old friend came by today
And she was telling everyone in Portydown
Bout the new love that she'd foun'
And Pais-a-lee's the name of her latest flame

Though I smiled the tears inside were burnin'
I wished her luck and then she said goodbye
She was gone but still her words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry

She talked and talked and I heard her say
That the way that he called the pope a tramp
Fairly turned her legs to champ
And Pais-a-lee's the name of her latest flame

Would you believe that yesterday
That man was in my arms and swore to me
He'd be mine eternally
And Pais-a-lee's the name of her latest flame

Keep on truckin!

Wheeeeze ....

Wheeeeeze ...

Good on you for tryin', Philomena ... but you'll find it a hard market to break into. I re-recorded "Four Country Roads to Glenamaddy" as "Four Country Roads To Oul' Garvaghy (And We're Not Allowed To Walk Them)". Didn't sell damn all!

G'luck anyway!

Your oul' friend Tom.

Tom …

Take my advice … re-release it under a new name.

I recorded a cover version of Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues". I called it "Crumlin Prison Blues" and it sold in bucketfuls all over the Wee North.

I called myself "The Reverend Richard Rock" … that's a big draw for the "Not On A Sunday" brigade.

And then I gave myself a wee nickname – "The Bishop of the Ballads" …

Why don't you call yourself "The Reverend Thomas Biggs, Ballymena's Blubbery Balladeer"?

Your friend

Dickie

PS here's the lyrics to "Crumlin Prison Blues". See what you think!

CRUMLIN PRISON BLUES
(with apologies to John R Cash)

I hear that train a-comin'
Rollin' round the bend
I ain't seen no sunshine
Since Lord I don't know when
I'm stuck in Crumlin prison
Time is draggin' on
And that train it keeps on rollin'
Back home to Portydown

When I was a baby
My ma done tol' me "Son
Always be a good boy
Don't you mess about with guns"
But I shot a man in Lurgan
Cos he was a taig
And I kidnap petty criminals
And then I break their legs

I bet there's alkies drinkin'
Buckfast and Scotch Mac
And the odd dope-smoker draggin'
On a bit of wacky bacc
But I knew I had it comin'
I know I have to pay
But them people keep a-movin'
That's what tortures me

If I was out of Crumlin
And that railroad train was mine
I guess that I would move
A little further down the line
Far from Crumlin Prison
That's where I long to be
Camping with my brethren
Out in ol' Drumcree

Pay no heed to Dickie Rock. He's an old cynic.

(And as for you ... Alison, or whatever you call yourself ... you keep your dorty hands off Daniel O'Donnell, y'hear!)

Peace and love.

Alison …

I wouldn't compromise the artistic integrity of my finest creation. However I do not wish to be unhelpful. So I'll give you a bit of a fiddle-about with another song with which I'm associated, "The Dealin' Men From Crossmaglen (Put The Whiskey In Me Tay)".

The Marchin' Men From Portydown (That Camp Out At Drumcree)

When out in full regalia on the Twelfth I gamely strode
To exercise my right to march along Garvaghy Road
A dorty big policeman said "Up this road you will not pass
Turn around, you Orange houn' before I kick your ass"
I said "You must be jokin'! Marchin' is our right!"
He said "Aye, in your bollocks! Not if it starts a fight!"
And then he drew his baton and he gave me such a smack
It left me sprawling on the street on the flat of my oul' back

From The Tunnel to Kilwilkie as any man will vow
There are no prods but catholics for mile and miles around
It isn't taigs but loyal bloods who'll stand four square with me
It's the marching men of Portydown who camp out at Drumcree

I believe my commitment to non-violence is well-known. However if you persist in staking a claim to Daniel O'Donnell then I shall fly to Australia and sing "All Kinds of Everything" to you till you relinquish all interests in him (strategic, selfish or whatever).

Alison …

Liam here! Chubby cheeks, wry smile, wee hat cocked rakishly.

I've hastily rewritten a song with which I'm most associated, although it was of course written by Ripley … sorry, I mean Eric … Bogle. The original would have a wee resonance for you in your current location. But I'm sure that this version will resonate even more!

THE BAND PLAYED LILLIBULLERO

When I was a young man, each twelfth of July
We'd march wherever we chose to
Our banners and flags, we would carry them high
There was never a road we were closed to
Then the fenians got cocky and said "Billy boys
We don't like your swagger, we don't like your noise
Your intimidation, in fact, we despise"
And they sent us back home to Drumcree

And the band played Lillibullero
As we pitched our oul' tents on the hill
By the end of the year we thought we'd be clear
But some boys are livin' there still

Boom boom!!

Sister Alison in that photo you showed of me I was sayin' the word, "for", as in "for fucks sake what do you people not understand about the word NO". Anyway I hope that clears that up. Remember brothers and sisters Ulster will fight and Ulster will be right, peace, The Rev.
