James Joyce: Finnegans Wake (The Ballad of Persse O'Reilly) For this year's challenge, I open my dog-eared copy of Finnegans Wake to page 44, to croak out my rendition of “The Ballad of Persse O'Reilly". *
(*From the French perce-oreille - or earwig, hence the cognomen of the hero of our story: Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker, whose rumored nefarious deeds are recounted herein.) As with my previous entries from 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 - don't overthink it, just enjoy the ride. Sláinte.
