Tá bean ina chónaí i Luimneach (A woman is living in Limerick)
Feic sí fear dubh iontach (She sees a wonderful dark man)
Níl mé pósta, deir sí (I am not married, she said)
Ach faoi dheireadh na mí (But before the end of the month)
Tá sí pósta, an bean dheifreach (She is married, the hasty woman)

I think it has more to do with a very limited vocabulary than with a translation. I only know very little Irish, so to come up with rhyming words is rather hard. |

Good try.

Written by Fledermaus (3238 comments posted) 22nd March 2007 | Thanks for the compliment Kathy. I just love languages, so that's why I'm trying to learn too many all at the same time 
And since I saw how JohnnyD's French poems get better each time, I thought a poem might be a nice exercise indeed. |
