Éamon de Valera

Dev said no to the IRB
Beneath a fine horse chestnut tree
It’s why he was not
By firing squad shot
An escape that filled Ireland with glee

      Not all by himself, surely. That arch-Catholic sexual repression and social conservatism is still alive and well and voting in Ireland.

    The person who wrote those five lines
    How come he never resigns?
    How come he has not
    By firing squad been shot?
    -A lucky escape Mr. Moynes.

      That only works if you have a strong D4 accent; resigns/Moynes.

      See? It’s not that easy now is it?
