Wear Green--Or Else

There’s coming a time of great cheer when folks will drink lots of green beer tell tales of wee sprites and magical sights. St. Patrick’s Day soon will be here. On that day, if you don’t wear green, just stay in your house. Don’t be seen, or else a hard pinch might cause you to flinch. Some pinchers can be downright mean! February 15, 2019, entered in Carolyn Devonshire's March Day Contest placed 2nd

Oh, I'll be sure to wear green so those "pinchers" don't come after me on St. Patrick's Day, Janice! Enjoyed the humor very much. There were some wonderful entries in this category. Congratulations on your second-place win! Best wishes, Carolyn

I like this, Janice. So they actually say head to toe in green ? some cheaters just pin a green paper on their clothing around here to avoid the pinch!

Neat piece, Janice. My grandson for one. But my favorite color is green and my phone cover is green, my coffee thermos is green, even my eyes are green...I'm usually covered regardless of the date.
