Mr Wheeley is contesting the will. After a very brief and stressful visit, I have sent Seamus to Manchester to iron out the details.

So far we haven't seen any sign of Seamus in these parts. He must have gotten lost in the mountains. If his middle name is Joseph he may have a claim, but the spelling of his last name is a bit suspicious. Most likely when he does arrive we'll give him a bottle of Whiskey and send him on his way. :)
Low and behold, Seamus arrives early this morning. He looked tired and hungry. After a breakfast of pancakes and Vermont Maple Syrup followed by a couple of shots of "the water of life", he cheered right up. What a pleasant gentleman, full of fun, had us all rolling on the floor. Sang us a few tunes from the old country, including "The Rooster" ..."we had a chicken, no eggs would she lay" along with a few other old favorites. He then pulled some old torn and tattered papers from his coat pocket. He had a rough analysis showing how the Dow Jones Industrial compared to the Irish Sweepstake. Anyway after an hour on the phone with Mom, we agreed to turning over the estate to Shamus. He promised to be back from Ireland in "about a year" and guaranteed at least a doubling of the estate value. Said he didn't need a ride anywhere. We last heard him out by the pond as he made his way. He was singing and laughing hysterically. What a charming fellow! We’re all looking forward to seeing him next year I’ll tell you!
What a wonderful addition to the family. sure and b'gory hope he makes it to all the homesteads.
the tea is brewin and the whiskey be in the closet
It has come to pass the Seamus has been squatting on the property of Mabel MacNaney (?sp)in Keene, NH claiming ownership of that as well.It sounds like a hostel takeover to me by god and by golly....
This just in.....
A person bearing the physical characteristics of the gentleman in question was spotted at an establishment of certain repute on Federal Hill in Providence RI Saturday night. He appeared to be enjoying himself a great deal, buying rounds of liquor and quoting the famous Irish poets WB Yeats and Jay-Z. As he had been seen there over the past summer bumming quarters and sweeping the floor, when asked how he had improved his situation, he replied "Shut yer gob if you don't want to be dealing with the business of me shillelagh!" Before becoming unintelligble with Jamesons he was rumoured to be singing "Joxer Goes to Stuttgart" with his female companion providing high harmonies.
Fair Seamus
Upon the twinkling
coasts of this soil—
the hard earned dirt of the damned—
runs a rough weathered tout,
stray and merry,
with a sharp nip ‘o
sauce near his hand.
His laugh can be heard
‘cross the ocean,
in the halls
where his blood-kin rejoice.
“He’s jiggin’ knee-deep in the potion,”
they say in his shantyman’s voice.
Had Seamus J Wheeley a dollar
to throw the hard-working a fair,
youngins’d fly, balloons sewn
to their collars,
hams and hotcakes’d waft round the air.
But the truth of the tale
is he’s travelin’
“with holes in me pockets!”
he swears,
and if i’t’weren’t for the luck
of the clover, he’d’a been long sent
a meal for the bears.
So when Seamus J Wheeley
comes wandrin’ our way,
we keep a half pence in the palm,
forgivin’ his tricks
as his pocket watch
ticks to the praise
of the 5:00 psalm.
Unbelievable talent!
who wrote the poem?-
I think I know but I'll wait and see
Bob should put it to music
That Seamus surely is an inspiration---------------
One more comment from Seamus, I'm currently publishing a 1200 page limited edition novel titled "Self Help For Compulsive Bibliophiles Who Would Like To Spend More Time In Outdoors Activities" It will most likely come to be known as SHFCBWWLTSMTIOA for short. Anyway, I have a special offer for those interested - if you act promptly. You simply mail me $99.99 Cash - (it's ok now to send cash through the mail with things being safer with the mail in general. I will rush your Novel next day air. Just send the cash to Joey - P.O. Box 55992 Federal Hill, Providence RI. I’m not sure about the zip, but you can look it up or call information. If you could time it so that the cash arrives Saturday morning that would be best, this Saturday that is. Thanks so much. You’ll love the book. I plan a sequel in the spring, if you’d like to preorder!
