The unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable, a quote from a wilde play most are aware
He was referring to foxhunting but that too could apply to hunters of the hare
But the cooked fox can be edible though far from the tastiest of meat
Taste buds belong to the well fed if you are hungry you will eat
On the unspeakable and uneatable of Millstreet hare coursing Michael Cashman and Donal Kelleher had their say
With slight variations in their opinions both seemed right in their own way
On the Millstreet ie Website they slightly differed to agree
We are born as individuals and we see all things differently
Fox hunting is a banned blood sport in many Countries to that i can only say hooray
And hare coursing in Ireland very different to that of a bygone day
The greyhounds nowadays are muzzled so the hares they cannot kill
The dying shrieks of a hare torn apart by greyhounds to me never was a thrill
The fox or hare well cooked though not the tastiest can be eaten little doubt
People who are really hungry do not have taste buds in their mouth
Comments of Michael and Donal on the Millstreet website inspired in me this rhyme
Though my words will not outlive me few things do live on in time.
