(Crossword Puzzle from Daily News, <br /> March 28,2008) <br /> <br />Dreaming of an ordinary day <br />On the Iles of Galway <br />Which are not at all barren <br />Especially on the one named Aran. <br /> <br />Nothing like facing a charging rhino <br />Or a moose in Toulouse <br />Nothing that rates as loco <br />Or like riding Pegasus. <br /> <br />Over the sea a breath-taking view, <br />Sailed by the Celts of wondrous culture, <br />Reminiscent of Machu Picchu <br />And the Inca, masters of agriculture. <br /> <br />Now sailing into the port of Hilo <br />From the city of Saint Lo <br />On the ship, the “Monte Cristo” <br />In the month of enero. <br /> <br />He found himself being Hawaiian <br />Avoiding all that was inane <br />While being outside Maine <br />It not yet the month of Sivan. <br /> <br />He would do that which was legit. <br />Be innocent like those who pet sit. <br />Wrap himself in a kilt <br />Making that his exit. <br /> <br />Dreaming of Galway <br />And its ordinary day. <br />Rich in the heritage of Ireland <br />Where neighbors know neighbors <br />and many in turn cut capers; <br />Besides, lending each other a hand. <br /> <br /> - April 1,2008<br /><br />Ben Gieske<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dreaming-of-galway/
