At Swim-Two-Birds
“Pomes written by a man that is one of ourselves and written down for ourselves to read. The name of that man... Now that's what you want, said Furriskey. The name of that man, said Shanahan, is a name that could be christianed on you or me, a name that won't shame us. And that name, said Shanahan, is Jem Casey. And a very good man, said Lamont. Jem Casey, said Furriskey. Do you understand what I mean, said Shanahan. You haven't any of his pomes on you, have you, said Lamont. If there's one thin...g I'd like... I haven't one on me if that's what you mean, Mr. Lamont, said Shanahan, but I could give one out as quick as I'd say my prayers. By God it's not for nothing that I call myself a pal of Jem Casey. I'm glad to hear it, said Lamont. Stand up there and recite it man, said Furriskey, don't keep us waiting. What's the name of it now? The name or title of the pome I am about to recite, gentlemen, said Shanahan with leisure priest-like in character, is a pome by the name of the "Workman's Friend".MoreLess
