I' m Nobody! Who Are You?

by Emily Dickinson

I'm nobody! Who are you?

Are you nobody too?

Then there's a pair of us - don't tell!

They'd banish us you know.

How dreary to be somebody!

How public, like a frog.

To tell your name the livelong day

To an admiring bog!

I'm Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny! Who the hell Are You?

by James Healy

I'm Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny, who the hell are you

Are you Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny too

Then there's a pair of us - don't tell!

They'd elect us you know

Or banish us for legalising abortion when we promised we wouldn't

right after we attempted to price gouge our way through the recession by paying the public sector wage bill via the invention of new taxes on water and houses and parking and televisions and whatever else popped into our heads to newly tax

How dreary to be IRA mafia godfather Gerry Adams

How public like a frog

To tell your life the livelong day

To an admiring Peace And Reconciliation Commission
