My rhyme’s good, but I hope you don’t pick it
No way am I using that ticket
I’d only get plastered
And act like a b*stard
Keep your prize, you know where to stick it.

Now some people find it quite rum
But to me its a pain in the bum
To wait for a year
For a festival of beer
Only to find its in f***ing Dundrum

Thanks all.
