A Take on Eccc Puer By James Joyce.

A take on  Ecce  Puer  by James Joyce.( An old man is gone)

An   Old Man Is Gone

Triple  Pillar of the house is gone.

An Octogenarian, stentorian in voice,

Is  gone. Gone in  sleep.

Nothing to grieve, for  when he breathed his last,

It  was all peaceful  and calm.

Yet, a matter of neglect  and repent is that

paddy from his  field,

Hitherto not supplied  came in bulks

and   gunny  bags. A delayed matter,

he was  deprived  of this rightful claim,

sad   irony, some people  don’t enjoy,

don’t  get, during their lifetime

what they deserve. But  now  the

matter of recompense  is that

A calf  is  born, where the man is gone.
