Looking Back

Object No. 81 Empty cooking pot, nineteenth century

National Museum of Ireland - Country Life

One day I was on my way to Australia,

When I arrived, I looked back on the days in Ireland.

My friends and I making dinner in our pots,

Making cups of tea with our teapots.

Now I’m on my own in a little house,

missing my friends and family.

Some day I will go back,

But for now, I’m here in Australia.

I am missing my friends and family

But that’s another story.
