I penned this humorous poem today in a sequential rhyming sequence. It's, of course, a spoof on my original family ancestry which is half-Irish, the other half being English. But after immigrating to America, my forebears from the 18th - 19th centuries eventually became Americans. And so, all of us poets and lovers of poetry need an inspiration, a Muse. Looks like by my self-admission in this poem that my inspiration, my Muse is my very good old friend: "My Leprechaun." To which I add, "Let all of us as poets and comrades of the written word, one day happily lift a tankard together and drink some fine Irish Whiskey in celebration of our work."
