Brian Keenan the famous hostage of Beiruit was down at the local builder's providers the other day I wish I could I could say he was buying hack-saws or pick axes but he wasn't Everybody knew him but nobody bothered him that's the Irish way with celebrity but out in the yard where things were busy a builder's flat-bed truck had him blocked in and Brian Keenan who lasted four years and more in a Beiruit cellar politely beeped his horn quick as a flash the driver shouted 'ah, fer fuck's sake, Brian! ye'd think you'd be used to feckin' waitin'!' everybody laughed which is what makes the Irish great . |
Author notes
This is a true story to the best of my knowledge. Brian Keenan was held as a hostage by Islamic Jihad in Beiruit, Lebanon between 1986 and 1990.
