sitting in the Irish Sea

the Isle of Man

a ferry ride from Liverpool

famous for motorcycle TT races

around the island twisty roads

lots of accidents and deaths

but the TT racers still race

and the spectators still flock

residents are known as Manxmen

they speak in ancient Manx tongue

a Gaelic language that almost died out

recently revived and taught in schools

Manx cats have no tails

Manxmen have many tales to tell

of their triskelion coat of arms

the island is sometimes visible from the UK mainland

they say if you cannot see the Isle of Man then its raining

if you can see the Isle of Man then its going to rain soon
