Ah, I love a good Irish jig.
This poem reads well and carries a peppy cadence to reflect the lighthearted story of this pub. I liked the rhyming of the quatrains. They didn't seem forced.

Carolyn, this was indeed a very fun and interesting read. I have never heard of the pub. The next time I go to Destin, I will definitely visit McGuire's.

This is a fun poem and, although the meter was out slightly, a good poem non the less. I enjoyed the gaiety of this little jig and loved the picture. This is a very nice poem and thank you for sharing.

Hi Carolyn,

Your poem is very nice and was a good read. I can't believe that they'd have real money hanging all over the restaurant though. I've never heard of any other place hanging money all over. I think you did a good job in writing this.

    I have been to several restaurants that have this practice, however I have never seen so many dollar bills nor had a count of how many..... A million and a half dollars is incredible..

    Seeing so much money hanging around must have been interesting.

I love this Carolyn, fancy walking into a restaurant, and see all the money that you would ever hope to see, and not be able to walk out with it! Perhaps we could go and eat there just before closing and tell them we would lock up, "leave the keys" then we could abscond with all the money! Beautifully written my friend, as usual, love the Photo, Blessings, Roy.

    Hi Roy,
    Yes it was a lot of money, evidently some of the workers decided they would peel a few bills. Naturally they are all marked, signed dated and the like. They were caught the very moment they tried to spend them.
    Thanks for the fun review.
    Love, Carolyn

G'day Carolyn. AHHHHH! Now I see the dollar bill. I enjoyed your witty little piece here and I also got an education in the process. I thought the meter was fine on this mate, cheers Fez

    Thanks Fez, I am glad my explanation cleared everything up... I forget money appearances change from place to place.
    So glad you enjoyed this one.....
    Love to the family,
