I've Never Seen Limerick So Alive

i've never seen limerick so alive in the last ten years. It's been fantastic, really, really nice. But it's folk in ireland, and july is a bit of an angry month. July is a queer oll month because it's very dry and hot. We have this culture of shame whereby if you enjoy something, you must then punish yourself. Some people blame this on catholicism. Or is it the weather? Sometimes i think the theatrics of irish weather has given us an education and shame.
