Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Today the world is Irish,
Or so it seems to me,
Everyone is wearing green,
From Mumbai to Galilee.

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day,
It’s a mighty festive bunch,
Eating corned beef and cabbage,
Instead of their usual lunch!

Parades are seen all over,
Irish melodies fill the air,
Pints of Guiness toast,
Lads and lassies fair!

Florists are selling shamrocks,
Fountains and rivers are green,
Sure and begorrah, you’ll be spotting,
Some sights you’ve never seen!

So dance an Irish jig or two,
And sing of Galway Bay,
And have yourself a special time,
On this St. Paddy’s Day!

  8. Well it all seems to be happening over your way. Over here it is much the same as usual. No green outfits and no noisy gatherings and not a leprechaun in sight!

    Nuts in May

  12. I'm Irish through and through, except the only Irish food I like is potatoes. I like Mexican food more. Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
