Mattie our man

Tall and strong

Decided to reclaim the wall

Meticulous planning

The guiding light

Clement weather granting

Slowly, methodically

Drag in hand

He set about unveiling the treasure

Back bent low

With dogged determination

Dragging, dragging amounts beyond measure

The goal clear

Time not wasted

A job to be done by close of year

Painstakingly clearing away

Evident pride in tidiness

Wheeling, wheeling, no talk of displeasure

Infrequent but respectful breaks

For smiles and chats with passersby

Wall and drag exalted, no talk of aches

Gradually stone upon stone revealed

History sealed deep inside

Haunting echoes heard in fields

The wall sings of Kilteevan’s past

Daffodils concealed in waiting

To join in springtime chorus blast

Lost…..gallons of perspiration

Gained….tons of inspiration

Nothing but thoughts of admiration
