As Max Boyce once sang;
I am an entertainer
And I sing for charity,
For Oxfam and for Shelter,
For those worse off than me.
Bangladesh, Barnardo's Homes,
And though I don't get paid
It does one good to do some work
For things like Christian Aid.
But of all the concerts that I've done
For the homeless overseas
The one I did that pleased me most
Was not for refugees.
'Twas for a home in Ireland
That stands amongst the trees,
The Sunshine Home in Dublin
For blind Irish Referees!
It was a yellow card offence, never a red card.
