A Whisper From Ireland – In the Pub
Pull up a chair, don’t wait to be asked,
The best kind of welcome? One that’s unmasked.
There’s no need to rush, no table to claim,
Just stories and laughter—no bookings, no shame.
The music starts low with a fiddle and flute,
A bodhrán joins in with a rhythm to suit.
Then voices rise gently in verses well known,
Old songs that feel stitched into marrow and bone.
If you buy a round, buy one for the crew,
And if you’re asked in return—say yes, wouldn’t you?
No pub is the same, but here’s what is true:
In Ireland, the locals drink with strangers like you.
