TUBBER PATRICK

Tubber Patrick is an ancient well that sits at a headland near The Strand in beautiful Portsewart, Co. Derry. 'Tubber' may mean well in Irish.

I had a nice friend from France who/m I went journeying with. She was so artistic and finely tuned, like a good violin.

TUBBER PATRICK


I threw a coin in the well
I let the sea cast its spell
Over you and me
At Tubber Patrick
Along The Strand
We understand
Each other so well
Little people
Hold a Fair
They're supposed
To fly in the air
At Tubber Patrick
When you left
For France
I was up in the air, too
Corinne Robert.

I'm not sure what you are referring to in this poem except the separation that World War II caused.

However, I spotted, and verified that sexy pinup of Rita Hayworth that so many GIs from the US took with them overseas to war as their only girlfriend, knowing they may never come back to get a real one.
