shannon airport

Rich US golfers express concerns
At being overcharged. Their golf
Bags are large enough to hide a
Body. In the departure terminal
Young men and women, white, black or
Latino amble, chat, sup a last
Guiness. Wearing desert boots and
Khaki fatigues. Without a hint of
Aggression, bearing fluffy toys in
Plastic bags. The golfers don't mix with
The unassuming soldiers whose quiet
Eyes protest they wouldn't harm a fly.
