“But the greatest love -- the love above all loves,
Even greater than that of a mother...
Is the tender, passionate, undying love,
Of one beer drunken slob for another.”
Irish ballad
One of the best places to practice the greatest love is Doolin, a small village in County Clare, Ireland. The three pubs in Doolin- McDermott's, McGann's and O'Connor's- are renowned worldwide for their traditional Irish music.
May you have a warm and not too fuzzy St. Patrick’s Day.

What's that saying again? From the mouths of babes and drunkards...

Oh I want to go to Doolin. I'm already in love with its name! That is a cute moon in a lovely sky.
ReplyDeleteTop of the mornin' to you, Don.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a lovely, quaint spot. The quote cracked me up.
Lovely and easy to find your way home after a night of professing the "tender, passionate, undying love," to another beer drinker in the pub :-).
ReplyDeleteYour poem made me laugh. Love the photo, it's really picturesque.
ReplyDeleteYesterday I wore a golden shamrock that my dear m-i-l brought back from Ireland. Of all of the places she had traveled, I think she liked it there the best.
That is a cosy looking little place and very amusing quote.
