Divide Luxembourg

John J O’Connor

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 A politician from Ireland
Was asked for his views
How did his country
to Luxembourg lose?

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 He thought for a while
Before he decided
That the country
Of Luxembourg
Should be divided.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 He announced with no humour
Minus a glimmer of wit
That like his own country
Luxembourg – should be split

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Then with his rant finally over
He went off for a jar
And on his phone cancelled out
His hotel in Qatar.

Notes

Smiled when I read that after the 0-1 defeat to the mighty Luxembourg there were calls in some quarters in Ireland to boycott the 2022 World Cup in Qatar because of human rights issues. I think the lads have more chance of being in a studio in Dublin or at a beach in Bogner than at the WC.
