St Patrick’s Day Poem

A ST PATRICK'S DAY POEM
by Marc Gunn

St Patrick's Day music,
St Patrick's Day drink,
St Patrick's Day merriment,
Grand birthday for me.

All are Irish on St Patrick's Day
Shamrock stickers stuck to cheeks
Bluegrass mixed with Irish drinking songs
Makes your heritage feel complete.

People dressed as leprechauns
Drinking green beer
Living the life of the “Irish”
While making some people sneer.

But the Irish unite around the world
Singing songs on St Patrick's Day
Tapping toes and whirling jigs
While the Fae folk hide and play.

Finnegan grabs his mug of beer.
Paddy works hard on the railroad.
Lanigan dances. Biddy Mulligan cheers.
And down in the valley, the bogs explode.

St Patrick's Day culture.
St Patrick's Day birth.
St Patrick's Day poetry and song
Filled with magical St Patrick's Day mirth.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!
and
HAPPY ST. GERTRUDE'S DAY!!!
(she's the patron saint of cats)

Slainte!
