Not as good, obviously.

Sibling of Daedalus writes:

Mid 20th century rhyming greeting cards from the publishing company of former Sinn Fein TD and political wordsmith Brian O’Higgins. In December 1938, O’Higgins [who had been in the GPO in 1916] was one of the group of seven TDs, elected to the Second Dail in 1921, who signed over what they believed was the authority of the Government of Dáil Éireann to the Army Council; an authority which formed the basis of the IRA and Sinn Féin’s rejection of the the states of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland and their political abstentionism. Nothing rhymed.
