[planedriver]

Mrs. Donovan was walking down

 

O'Connell Street in Dublin when

 

she met up with Father Flaherty.

 

 

 

The Father said, 'Top o' the mornin'

 

to ye! Aren't ye Mrs. Donovan

 

and didn't I marry ye and yer

 

hoosband two years ago?'

 

 

 

She replied, 'Aye, that ye did, Father.'

 

 

 

The Father asked, 'And be there

 

any wee little ones yet?'

 

 

 

She replied, 'No, not yet, Father.'

 

 

 

The Father said, 'Well now,

 

I'm going to Rome next week

 

and I'll light a fertility candle for ye

 

and yer hoosband.'

 

 

 

She replied, 'Oh, thank ye, Father...'

 

They then parted ways..

 

 

 

Some years later they met again.

 

The Father asked, 'Well now,

 

Mrs. Donovan, how are ye these days?'

 

She replied, 'Oh, very well, Father!'

 

The Father asked, 'And tell me ,

 

have ye any wee ones yet?'

 

 

 

She replied, 'Oh yes, Father!

 

Two sets of twins and six singles,

 

ten in all!'

 

 

 

The Father said, 'That's wonderful!

 

How is yer loving hoosband doing?'

 

 

 

She replied, 'E's gone to Rome

 

to blow out the bloody candle you lit.'
