IAN Bailey has made his debut on TikTok with a bizarre “Mary had a little lamb” poem.
The author, poet and journalist joined the popular social media platform in recent days.
In one of his first videos on TikTok, the 65-year-old shared a verse of a poem.
He said: “Mary had a little lamb, she also had a bear.

Bailey still lives in Schull in West Cork, and is now making a living as a poet in the region, selling poetry books and performing readings.

The English journalist has welcomed a fresh investigation into the notorious 1996 slaying of the French film maker.
But the poet insists he’ll take part only if his lawyer Frank Buttimer is present.
He told the Irish Sun: “I absolutely welcome this development and I wrote to the Garda Commissioner calling for this last year.
“I was contacted by An Garda Siochana in recent weeks and I said I would be more than happy to co-operate once my solicitor, Mr Frank Buttimer, is
