"Jenkinstown Wood" by Edward Dullard.

Song...... Mo Ghile Mear (Our Hero) *(1)
(by The Chieftains ft. Sting, from Long Black Veil)

Poem..... Mo Ghile Mear (Our Hero) *(2)
(by anonymous)

Picture... Jenkinstown Wood *(3) (by Edward Dullard )
Reading.. Guns, Germs, and Steel (by Jared Diamond).

*1 An Irish's traditional song. Hair-raising at that, too.
*2 2nd verse is gallant indeed (scary, though);
......but the lyrics are constantly modified to fit its occasions.
*3 I wonder if the roads Irish heroes took when off to war looked something like this.


As for 'speak a few reasonable words':
Hehe. I repeat: It's quite stressful to listen to statements that make no sense.
