Rairy Bird.

This is a little known fact about our little country over here Ireland. Not many people would be able to tell you about this. If you are reading this, you will learn something. many others do not know.

Back in the day. Back then I was just a kid. Probably 10 or 11. We had it much better back then. We were allowed to get dirt on ourselves and clothes. Well dayum hard not to back then too. The war was going on. Not that I understood much about it. But we were all going to be generals from our crew and win the war when we grew up. Well that has feck all to do with the Rairy Bird. So I will move on.

Well back in the war ye see. Somehow a gust of wind or something caught one of those rockets that the little German fella sent. Went off course and landed in the backarse of Cork. It took a bloody big chuck out of the side of a hill. Inside the hole Michael Flannigan found an egg. Not an ordinary egg. This egg could feed ye for a week.

Took the two of us to carry it back to his house. We were expecting omelette for supper. No such bloody luck. Micky's old man wanted to hatch the thing and then have the meat. We had to keep it a secret as meat was not such a common thing at that war time.

So Mr Flannigan hatched the egg and out came this weird looking thing. Over the next couple of weeks he fed is with bits of scraps. It Grew. That was the problem. It didn't bloody stop growing. It just grew and grew and grew. It came to the point it was no longer able to be kept a secret.

Neighbours had to be asked for bits of scraps to help feed it. Soon it was too big for the house and a shed had to be built for it.

Well, eventually, It got too big for the shed. The village could no longer feed it. It was costing too much to keep it alive. It was decided a town meeting should be held to decide what happens with Rairy. They called it Rairy, cause it was such a rare bird.

At the meetings end it had been decided. Mr Flannigan should take it to the top of the mountains and push it over the edge of a cliff. They could all then share the meat it would give. After all. They all ended up feeding the bird.

So Mr Flannigan takes the bird the next morning up to the top of the mountain and finds a straight drop down cliff.

Standing at the edge of the cliff and looking down, he sighs and winces at the thoughts of the fall. He takes a look up at the Rairy bird. He takes another look over the cliff, thinking

that sure is a long way down.

He looks back up at the Rairy bird and scratches his chin. Looks down again and then at the bird.

Then he says.

.i love it. Made me laugh..and it brought back memories of playing rugby many moons ago. Amongst many others, this is one of the songs we used to sing in the pub afterwards over a few beers! We did visit Ireland once on tour, but i remember we didn't get to play as the the game was cancelled as sadly the scrum half if the team we were due to play had recently died and it was his funeral that day!

Delighted it found a smile.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Thank You!
