Gough

I came across this "poem" when I first entered the Civil Service in the late sixties. I was a Dubliner but it was a Kerryman who introduced me to this modern piece of Dublin oral tradition. I then ferreted out the picture from the Lawrence collection in the National Library of Ireland and you, the viewer are now the beneficiary of the coming together of the oral and visual tradition in this unique presentation. Unfortunately, the standard of the monologue falls well below that of your average Dublin wit.
