Across the Divide

This week we all wrote a verse about each event in the novel 'Across the Divide'. See if you can work out who wrote each verse!

Across the Divide
(by James, Josh, Cian, Scott R., Leon, Kian, Jonathan, Pierce, Scott H., Lee, Cameron, Barry, John and David.

This is a story about two young lives,

And all the events they must survive,

It all starts with Larkin, a speech and Sackville Street,

And how Liam’s head and a baton meet.

Liam and Nora meet at a féis and Nora lost her music sheet,

Nora was sure competition would end in her defeat,

But Liam said do you want one of mine,

As a friend he said, ‘really it’s fine’.

Next of all Br. Raymond formed a choir,

Liam and Nora joined, music their desire,

They wanted to be the very best,

To be better than all the rest.

Then to Jim Larkin’s speech out in Skerries,

An O’ Meara picnic, with sandwiches and berries,

Larkin’s speech was really just great,

All the men then decided, striking was their fate.

And so all the workers got locked out,

While the Peelers and DMP lurked about,

Soon families started to starve,

Thankfully ‘The Hare’ and other food ships arrived.

These ships had food for the poor,

Liam and Nora carried it from door to door,

It wasn’t needed for the very wealthy,

But instead to keep the poor people healthy.

Next of all Liam hops the train to Ballincargy,

When the conductor caught him, he knew there’d be bargy,

So he jumped to the icy bank,

Now in the middle of nowhere, his heart just sank.

Luckily, he found a nice barge,

And men who gave him a bed without charge,

Soon he was on the road again,

Nora passed by and Liam shouted ‘Amen’.

Then they got to Aunt Molly’s

When their mood became more jolly,

Liam’s aunt gave food and money,

The food was truly yummy.

They travelled back to Dublin, sneaking back on the train,

Would they be caught, every nerve would strain,

Soon they got back and through the station,

Delivering the food to Liam’s family with true elation.

And that’s all of this book about two great friends,

We all think Liam and Nora are real legends,

You really should read this great book,

Or I’ll come swinging, and you better duck!
