    When things go wrong and will not come right,
    Though you do the best you can,
    When life looks black as the hour of night -
    A PINT OF PLAIN IS YOUR ONLY MAN.

    When money's tight and hard to get
    And your horse has also ran,
    When all you have is a heap of debt -
    A PINT OF PLAIN IS YOUR ONLY MAN.

    When health is bad and your heart feels strange,
    And your face is pale and wan,
    When doctors say you need a change,
    A PINT OF PLAIN IS YOUR ONLY MAN.

    When food is scarce and your larder bare
    And no rashers grease your pan,
    When hunger grows as your meals are rare -
    A PINT OF PLAIN IS YOUR ONLY MAN.

    In time of trouble and lousey strife,
    You have still got a darlint plan
    You still can turn to a brighter life -
    A PINT OF PLAIN IS YOUR ONLY MAN.


    Now, tell me, was it about a bicycle?

    Thanks, Fenian. I'll hoist a pint to Collins and other Irish patriots when I get home. I may not be in the Roman Church, but I'm a Republican just the same, in the tradition of Parnell, Wolfe Tone, Thomas Russell, Sam Maguire and others of my theological stripe who chose the green over the orange.

    Rhetorical question I think WritingIrish might appreciate on his birthday ... if someone resembles Michael Collins, is it easier to get laid in Ireland?

    Happy birthday!

    Not sure, but I think looking like Michael Collins is more likely to lure a horny colleen than looking like Phil Collins. However, I think being able to play guitar like Albert Collins would be best of all.

    His cameo is the best thing about "Adventures In Babysitting."
