Love in bloom

First name James, last name Joyce 

Make your choice 

If you want to stay awake 

Stay away from Finnegan

I'll start reading, by page 10

I need to begin again

Much prefer to read of Molly

There's been rumors 

Molly Bloom removed her bloomers

Rumors true?

Take a guess 

Yes I will

Yes I say 

I say Yes

Thanks so much for your kind words

Best wishes I'd like to convey

A happy and healthy Bloomsday

Don't let it be troublin' 

That we're not in Dublin

Salut! Pour votre santé!

I agree with your opinion of

I agree with your opinion of Finnegan, and Molly's soliloquy is one of the only two parts of Ulysses that I really enjoy (the other is the chapter in the library, in which the Poet, A.E., appears).  Molly is one of those characters that a reader "falls in love with," like Beatrice in the Divine Comedy, or Shakespeare's Juliet.

   And your last three lines, echoing Molly's conclusion to her soliloquy, are very, very moving, and thus, quite impressive.  I applaud this poem!!!!!
