An Irish Kind Of A Day!
St. Patrick’s Day – March 17, 2012
By: Janette Spencer Sprankle
I wasn’t born in Ireland,
but it’s a place I long ta’ see.
They say it tis’ the Emerald Isle,
and as green as green can be.
I love the Celtic music,
it’s what I love ta’ hear.
The strings of harps and violins,
is music ta’ my ears.
In Ireland on St. Patrick’s Day,
tis’ fun to play and carry on.
To dance a jig, or two or three,
and sing all the Irish songs.
It’s an Irish day of feast for sure,
To celebrate the Patron Saint.
It’s Irish bacon n’ cabbage for eats,
tis’ a day of no restraints!
Yes, another year has come to pass,
The days have come and gone.
Let’s celebrate and have some fun,
With all the Leprechauns!
A wish for all a Happy St. Patrick’s Day,
no matter the wind, the rain or snow.
Remember our land will soon awake,
in the Spring the flowers will grow.
So get up and put on the green I say,
and look fer’ that pot o’ gold.
For if yer’ lucky and look long enough,
ya’ might triple what’s in yer’ billfold!
