On the Road to Clare

My son and I today we went
From Robertstown to Clare
A pub meal awaited us
To satisfy our hunger

As we crossed the country side
The wind was howling madly
The fields that had been ploughed
The wind was scattering badly

The vision in front of us
Was getting rather blurry
All this dust kicked up
This drive was a real worry

As we came to a cross road
We could barely see the wind farm
Hit the skids, drifted across
And carried on to Clare

Finally we reached the place
And our lunch there awaited
Only thing we need to go
And brave the journey backward

About this poem:
We have some great dust storms where the field on one side of the road drops by six inches and the other side rises by six inches...we had one of those today and my son and I decided to go for a pub meal at Clare...about forty minutes across dirt roads...visibility about ten feet
