Salmon Poetry
Kids Talk
Laurence McKeown
Daddy,
I’m not saying your house isn’t nice;
it is.
But you see being one night at Mammy’s
and then to your house
and then to Mammy’s and
back and forward and
back and forward…
I’m getting tired.
Could we not just stay at our house with you and Mammy?
But Caoilfhionn
that wouldn’t be fair on Daddy.
I’m not saying Órlaith that I don’t like daddy’s house;
it’s just that one house would be better.
That’s all I’m saying.
Poem from
"Kids Talk" read by the author
