There was a poem / monologue popular in the East Donegal area during the '20s describing the effects of the short skirts worn by young ladies of the time. It has the lines:- "I wonder now what Rab would say About the short skirts of to-day; What would he think of the short skirt movement ? Like me, he'd think it a great improvement....." Could anyone come up with the rest ? Dillie

I kniow a man who used to recite this poem. It's very long but very funny. Some lines are a little risky but not too bad. If I can trace this I wu=ill post the words. The man's from donegal as well, a place called Sessiaghoneill I think. Hughie
