| Paratext Text | (Ag éisteacht le The Ballad of Penny Evans le Steve Goodman) |
| Notes | The subtitle clearly indicates the inspiration for this poem: ' Listening to 'The Ballad of Penny Evans' by Steve Goodman'. The first-person speaker lists aspects of the Vietnam War which enraged an unspecified 'us', namely: napalm strikes, thousands of American servicemen who would not return home, the famous photograph of Kim Phúc, and the military cheques sent to the widowed women left behind. |
