On the day of Paul McBride’s funeral, we respectfully re-publish our (revised) poetic tribute.

“PMB … QC … RIP”
(A tribute to the late Paul McBride, QC)
Forthright; fearless; peerless …
no back seat for him –
and none for us.
Flamboyant boldness …
steadfast under fire –
cool, calm, no fuss.
Unfazed; remorseless …
intellect supreme –
a man you’d trust.
Stout friend; feared foe …
no caped sub on the bench –
so, on we must.
Our voice – his choice …
The Law bereft –
a force of nature hushed.
So, laud; applaud …
but be he not in vain –
move up the bus!
