Going Green

We go green on Paddy's Day. That's because we like it that way. Green clothing, green Liffey, green beer. Green faces bring good cheer. A time to remember we're Irish. Especially those Paddys overseas. They go out and drink like idiots. Until they are on their knees. It's all harmless fun, we enjoy it, with parades in every town. It's that one time of year we Irish Have the craic playing the clown. Come join us and make merry. We welcome you with open arms. If you sing or play an instrument, I guarantee you we'll be charmed.

Well I certainly did Jan, by avoiding the parade and the drinking.
