There was a girl who so much liked to read
With her Irish writing she wanted to succeed.
A beautiful life in Belfast
She lived to write postcards.
She was shy about using Irish expressions in the past
And for her third novel, she worked hard.
When she was a wee child
Her culture she wanted to hide,
She was dreaming of Emily Bronte’s life
And she won a “Novel Prize”.
Inspired by Agatha Christie
She created mystery,
She wrote a book called The Raptures.
Imagination it captures.
