The evidence

I told ye I'd put a poem or two in a shop today... and I wasn't fibbing.

First - here's the lookout










And now three from me

  

By the pens there's

International, it's so fashionable

Grab a pen and act irrational

Fun things left in odd type places

Hope to brighten stranger's faces

 

Then beside the bread - first ever IPYPIASM as gaeilge

Is feidir grá a fháil

In aice len arán

Is fiú do aimsir a thógaint

Ag léamh nó ag scríomh dán

translation

Love can be found

beside the bread

It's worth taking time

to read or write a poem

- and it rhymes when it's in Irish - that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

and then near the apples - not the first time I've seen them  IPYPIASM'd

Fresh as your smile

On another Christmas day

Your "grandeur" calls, your style

Your dignatory sway

I don't think you've gone away

Which all brings us to the new grand total of 

Scotland 11

Ireland 10

USA 6

RoW 0

Anyway, hope you all have a very relaxing day tomorrow and the man in red, if he's coming to you, is generous with his offerings.
