Moist
MOIST ( Circa 14/05/2015 )
Oh sweaty purple polyp
It is time to be rejoiced
I have a full hoist
Of oysterly oyster
So moist
Moist, moist, moist
What a foist
This has to be voiced
Not even the salmon fishers moist
With their dribbling boat could hoist
Everybody like to be moist
So again let’s foist
And expectorate a fully voiced
We can grow more moist
Our sluggish eyes can feast
On the mucilaginous beast
Humid, putrid,
Dampish, crunchy and wet
Yes, bring us more sweat
We have our towel
Smear those damp cloth fouled
Let the towel growl
And howl
I hear the screeching owl
Beginning to rejoice
Moist, moist, moist
The towel is to be high hoist
Damp as a wovel
Let it be fuel
To make move our bowel.

Alternative facts, harcourt street and train wreck....
I have a postcard of the above picture on my wall, when my girlfriend first saw it, she declared:
"Oh this is the famous train crash in Dublin, Harcourt street"
No it is not, in the photograph you can read 'Gare de l'Ouest', and this train crash happened in 1985 in Paris, France.
There was indeed a train crash in Dublin, in 1900. And this is the picture:
