Poem
Here's a story about a Leprechaun But it's not exactly what you think For this one was over seven foot tall Til one day when he started to shrink Now everybody knows about leprechauns And how they hide their pot of gold But you better wait til this story is over So now, listen close, to how it's told Now Tuck was a little more than 7 foot tall He picked the apples straight off the trees He also like to play those leprechaun games Course he had to play on his knees See, Tuck wasn't no ordinary leprechaun He was from the hills of Tennessee Now Hillbilly leprechauns are really rare And It's something that you hardly ever see He was born at the end of a magic rainbow Way back in leprechaun hollow And the first time you see one that's 7 foot tall Well, that was just something kinda hard to swallow They banished him from the leprechaun clan So, one day, he set out on his own He found himself, in a place called Ireland Thousands of miles from home When he come across three tiny leprechauns Just sitting and shooting the breeze See, they'd been trying for hours now To knock the apples out of those trees Tuck said, "Fellas I can get you them apples, But tell me, what's in it for me?" See, Tuck was a very good horse trader When he was living back in Tennessee "We'll trade you our pot of gold", one said But his fingers were crossed, and he was faking So Tuck grabbed a hold of one of those limbs And the whole dang tree started shaking Those apples started falling everywhere Just bouncing all over the ground When one of them picked up a golden apple And yelled, "Hey Tuck, look what I found" Now them Irish leprechauns are mighty sneaky And Tuck took it before he was thinkin' He opened his mouth and took a big bite And that's when he suddenly started shrinkin' All three leprechauns started to laugh And said, "You're no taller than a garden gnome" But that's exactly what he was hoping for For now Tuck can go back home See, a leprechaun would never give up his gold And he knew it was some kind of trick The shrinking spell is the oldest in the book And they're left with the short end of the stick
