Shot Silk

The Playboy of the Western World is a three-act play written by Irish playwright John Millington Synge, first performed at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, on 26 January 1907. It is set in Michael James Flaherty's public house in County Mayo (on the west coast of Ireland) during the early 1900s. It tells the story of Christy Mahon, a young man running away from his farm, claiming he killed his father. The play is known for its use of the poetic, evocative language of Hiberno-English, heavily influenced by the Irish language, as Synge celebrates the lyrical speech of the Irish. more »

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

A low setting sun
In a Memphis sky
The clouds roll by
A shot silk tie
One shot rang
A still distant thunder
Amazing grace sang in tears
From one king to another
April tears falling
Drown a town of fun
A painted clown with a gun
For a tainted crown
At a cost lost and won
A stupid fool starring at the sun
A hush lullaby
Under a soft Georgia sky
The crowds stroll by
A black shot silk tie
