Have you ever been down to an Irishman's Shanny? Where money is scarce but whiskey is plenty. A two legged stool with a table to match, a hen in the corner all ready to hatch. You step in the parlor with mud to your knees, you step in the bedroom all covered with fleas. You kick, and you scratch, and you knee, and you paw, don't see how ye get any rest at all.
My dad used to sing that song to me all the time. Just thought I would share.
"When I realized what I had turned out to be was a lousy, two-bit pool hustler and a drunk, I wasn't depressed at all. I was glad to have a profession."

In honor of Mr. McGoorty I'm making corned beef and cabbage (with carrots, onions and red potatoes of course) for Rob and his mom. Oh, and probably for the dog and the kitties too. Spoiled little brats.
We will of course raise a glass to you my dear Megan. No not whiskey ~ that stuff'll kill ya!
