AG FOGHLAIM GAELIGE LE MO DHEIRFIÚR
(Learning Irish with my sister.)

“Feic! ”
(“Look! ”)

“A lacha and a luch! ”
(“A mouse and a duck! ”)

“Is tusa my little lachín! ”
“Is tusa my little lachín! ”
“Is tusa my little lachín! ”

('You’re my little duckling! ”)

Broken Irish & English
all squeals & screams
& ticklings.

Oh my heart
was in... mo bhéal!

Oh bhí mo chroí
... in my mouth

with love and laughter and delight.

Dónall Dempsey
