A LIMERICK FOR SAINT PATRICK’S DAY

When the world’s dressed up in their green
The brightest colors that you have seen
They are drinking good cheer
With green colored beer
It’s not dirty though, it’s clean

A POEM FOR SAINT PATRICK’S DAY

Saint Patrick would have never believed
How his memory would become perceived
In the Emerald Isle they do it in style
With green outfits, green hats and green sleeves

In the New World they went one step beyond
As they do there across the pond
With jugs of green beer
And all sorts of cheer
And silly hats often are donned

Corned Beef and Cabbage are common
In Chicago, New York and Boston
But in Olde Dublin Towne
They’d certainly frown
Guinness is their usual custom

When 17th March comes along
It’s an excuse for drinking and song
People form into crowds
And get really loud
As they do when they form into a throng

The next day starts with a warning
Heads are thumping as a new day is dawning
We drank way too much
Spoke fluent double dutch
There’s a price to be paid in the morning

DO YOU BELIEVE IN LEPRECHAUNS?

Do you believe in Leprechauns
Rainbows with pots of gold
Fairies, Piskies, Gnomes and Dwarves
Or have you just grown old

I sometimes stop and wonder
Where these ancient tales come from
Were there really once such things
And if so, then are they gone?

This world is full of strange events
You can read it throughout history
There’s UFO’s and flying things
It really is a mystery

But for the sake of old Saint Pat
Let’s imagine for a day
That fairy tale folk they do exist
You might see one at play

SPILT ON A QUILT – A LIMERICK

A young Irish maid once spilt
Green beer all over a quilt
She was really quite shy
So she wiped it all dry
But blushed because of her guilt

TRIPPING AND SLIPPING – A LIMERICK

While walking an Irish lass tripped
And into a puddle she slipped
When a man pulled her out
Did she holla and shout
Cos he trod on her dress and it ripped

MICK AND HIS TRICK – A LIMERICK

An Irish builder called Mick
Did a very unusual trick
He would juggle his tools
Which was really quite cool
Til they landed one day on his foot

THE FLOWERS THAT BLOOM IN THE SPRING

Oh the flowers that bloom in the spring
Is a song that a lot of folks sing
I don’t know any more
So I can’t say for sure
But it sounds like it has a nice ring
