| Notes | This poem acknowledges much of the complexity of Irish history, including the Norman invasion and the difference between 'Irish' and 'Scotch' quarters in Northern Ireland. Furthermore, this poem depicts British soldiers stationed in Northern Ireland during WW1, Germans on a prison ship, and the rationing campaign in England. |
