It was the one development that everyone had dreaded
\nTo Moneygall for the fourth of July Willie Rimes was headed
\nHe was going to call in on Obamas cousins, when he overheard some chick called Lisa
\nSaying she was going for the music, Willie thought he might blag a visa…<\/p>\n

\"Barack<\/a>
Barack Obama – an Offaly lad it is agreed, by all blaggards bar Lally!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Olivia<\/a>
Olivia Douglas of Ferbane singing at Obamafest 2016 – we hope Willie Rimes did not disrupt the show<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sure doesn’t Obamas eighth cousin own or drink in the local bar
\nSure he will help a fellow Irishman, as Irish we all are
\nA few quick glances crossed the pub behind our Willies back
\nFor putting the foot in it is poor auld Willies knack…<\/p>\n

Its the right spot for him for he has lots of gall
\nBut as for the money part, we he has sweet damn all
\nOr at least thats what to everyone he does be saying
\nAgreeing he will drink what they are drinking if for it they are paying!<\/p>\n

Now we warned our Willie about the regulations before a fool of himself he made
\nTo immigrate legally he must have a profession or trade
\nBut he was having none of it, sure if ya get in with Obamas cousin
\nGetting in should be easy as smuggling Mexicans cross the border by the dozen…<\/p>\n

Now this was the terminology we did not want him using
\nBut to calm down and have common sense our Willie was refusing
\nIf they refuse to help me he said, Ill take the hump
\nIll toss the Hillary and the Democrats to one side, and vote for Donald Trump!<\/p>\n

We then explained to him we as Irish cannot vote
\nIts an American election only, in anger he grabbed his coat
\nKicked the counter, “Feck off” he roared as he left he slammed the door
\nThat night passed quick enough all right – we heard of him no more…<\/p>\n

Now in Moneygall they have Obamafest in the Barack Obama Plaza
\nOwned by yer man who owns Supermacs – known as Irelands little Gaza –
\nNo, not Moneygall, but the local chippers across the country where every Saturday night
\nYou go after a hard nights drinking for the chips, a shift and fight!<\/p>\n

But of all the lads who have keen kicked out of the one and only Supermacs
\nI doubt they have met the likes of Willie Rimes, but I think we can relax
\nSure we told him the road to Clifden to the way to reach it from Galway the best
\nAsk for directions there we told him as we sent the poor fecker west…<\/p>\n

Sure we have no shame and he will be like a roaring beast
\nWhen he cops we sent him the wrong direction – he should have been going east
\n“So if we see him”, one of the lads down by the counter made the wry and accurate quip
\n“If we see him in the next month or so, we had better give him the slip…”<\/p>\n
