County Antrim

Coastal Causeway round the bends,

The Irish way to the sightly Glens,

Snow and sun kiss Slemish Slopes, while

Fishermen friends are on the Ropes.

Giant Steps a tale surpassed,

Murals of pain – the old Belfast,

Republic South – divided North,

The Orange March – for what it’s worth.

Hearts of Gold and open arms,

No empty chalice of folklore charms,

Press the Shamrock to your lips,

But clutch a clover and heed the tips.
