A Round for Dublin

[Lizzie]

Hi River! I have some thoughts.

A Round for Dublin


For when ancient cities were small -- do you need 'for'?
and most modern cities, not cities at all,
you were the smallest -- a model

by which our country should grow
out of this putrid mess of snow
that is Pinatubo's discharge. Know -- if grossness was your goal in the discharge imagery, you've achieved.

that you are well-loved, even
by those who would rather have seen
all those damn Nationalists hanged on a tree,

at least with ni Houlihan having proved -- capitalize the N in Ni?
not only that she could win on the road
but also produce U2. -- I think you need a couple more syllables in this line. Otherwise, a good ending.
