Ruairi was born in the city of Newry. He very quickly realised that crayons were not for eating and started drawing on the wallpaper. He is now an established performance poet in the Arcadia Coffee House, with a small following of fragrant supporters. You can see his collections of poems - 'Poetry of Thought' and 'Poet in the middle' - on his website.
Day in Day out by Ruairi
McNally
Wriggle, Wriggle, Wriggle,
is what they do, day in day out.
Wriggle, Wriggle, Wriggle
is how they move about.
They don't sit, scream or shout,
they move about.
Wriggle, Wriggle, Wriggle,
longing for a tickle
an ickle tickle
Is what her toes do day in day out.
