This is an extract from Brian's much longer poem which was a Bard of Armagh Finalist Poem in 2003.

  How well I remember that day last November
The Bar was stuffed full with Assembly Members.
    Big Ian arrived with the rest of his crew
Mark Durkan asked him “What can I get you?”
      Ian replied “Mark you know full well
that drinking hard liquor’s a sure road to hell.
  I drink ‘pure orange’ and never touch beer
and you know my motto – we’ll have no coke here!”
 Well the whole of his party just started to snigger
Said Mitchel McLaughlin “I don’t like that frigger.
  Do you think if I gave the bartender some fivers
instead of pure orange, he’d slip them screwdrivers”
   “Oh, don’t be so bitter”, said Bairbre de Brun
as she passed him a cocktail of Iced Blue Lagoon.
  Then she lifted her own glass and downed it in one
and smiled “With more drink I could fancy his son”.
