[Quote No.29459] Need Area: Fun > Anticipation
"[The following poem, 'Said Hanrahan', humourously shows how some people are their own worst enemy, by being negative and pessimistic and always expecting the worst, 'catastrophizing' everything that happens.]
'We'll all be rooned,' said Hanrahan,
In accents most forlorn,
Outside the church, ere Mass began,
One frosty Sunday morn.
The congregation stood about,
Coat-collars to the ears,
And talked of stock, and crops, and drought,
As it had done for years.
'It's looking crook,' said Daniel Croke;
'Bedad, it's cruke, me lad,
For never since the banks went broke,
Has seasons been so bad.'
'It's dry, all right,' said young O'Neil,
With which astute remark,
He squatted down upon his heel,
And chewed a piece of bark.
And so around the chorus ran,
'It's keepin' dry, no doubt.'
'We'll all be rooned,' said Hanrahan,
'Before the year is out.'
'The crops are done; ye'll have your work,
To save one bag of grain;
From here way out to Back-o'-Bourke,
They're singin' out for rain.
'They're singin' out for rain,' he said,
'And all the tanks are dry.'
The congregation scratched its head,
And gazed around the sky.
'There won't be grass, in any case,
Enough to feed an ass;
There's not a blade on Casey's place,
As I came down to Mass.'
'If rain don't come this month,' said Dan,
And cleared his throat to speak -
'We'll all be rooned,' said Hanrahan,
'If rain don't come this week.'
A heavy silence seemed to steal,
On all at this remark;
And each man squatted on his heel,
And chewed a piece of bark.
'We want an inch of rain, we do,'
O'Neil observed at last;
But Croke 'maintained' we wanted two,
To put the danger past.
'If we don't get three inches, man,
Or four to break this drought,
We'll all be rooned,' said Hanrahan,
'Before the year is out.'
In God's good time down came the rain;
And all the afternoon,
On iron roof and window-pane,
It drummed a homely tune.
And through the night it pattered still,
And lightsome, gladsome elves,
On dripping spout and window-sill,
Kept talking to themselves.
It pelted, pelted all day long,
A-singing at its work,
Till every heart took up the song,
Way out to Back-o'-Bourke.
And every creek a banker ran,
And dams filled overtop;
'We'll all be rooned,' said Hanrahan,
'If this rain doesn't stop.'
And stop it did, in God's good time;
And spring came in to fold,
A mantle o'er the hills sublime,
Of green and pink and gold.
And days went by on dancing feet,
With harvest-hopes immense,
And laughing eyes beheld the wheat,
Nid-nodding o'er the fence.
And, oh, the smiles on every face,
As happy lad and lass,
Through grass knee-deep on Casey's place,
Went riding down to Mass.
While round the church in clothes genteel,
Discoursed the men of mark,
And each man squatted on his heel,
And chewed his piece of bark.
'There'll be bush-fires for sure, me man,
There will, without a doubt;
We'll all be rooned,' said Hanrahan,
'Before the year is out.'
" - John O'Brien [ Patrick Joseph Hartigan]
(1878 - 1952) 'John O'Brien' was the pseudonym adopted by the Australian priest, poet and author, Patrick Joseph Hartigan. This poem 'Said Hanrahan' was published in 'Around the Boree Log and Other Verses', in 1921. The refrain 'We'll all be rooned' from this poem has entered the Australian vernacular as a jocular response to any prediction of dire consequences arising from events over which the speakers have no control.
