Murphy by name Murphy by nature. What*s a girl to do?
Rich and Thick
by Terry Reilly
A fussy young colleen from Limerick,
found Murphy's dark stout made her feel sick.
Her suitor, from Cork,
although flush, was a dork,
like Murphy's black brew - rich but thick.

colleen = Irish word for girl or young woman.
flush = slang for having loads of money.
dork = slang for a stupid person.
Two stouts brewed in Ireland have quite a rivalry. Guiness (brewed in Dublin) connoisseurs look down their noses at Murphy*s (brewed in Cork), viewing it as unsophisticated, rough, from the country. Thick and crude, if you will.
