A Drop Or Two
I know you've seen a rainbow, and no doubt,
are aware that you'd best keep an eye out
for Irish fairy folks; lurking about.
Leprechauns can be grumpy, funny folks;
that some say love to play mischievous jokes
on naysayers, who label them a hoax.
If it's their pot of gold, you'd be after,
try searching behind an attic rafter;
where kids readily swear they've heard laughter.
The Irish bribe the leprechauns with food,
thinking a free meal will keep them subdued:
but the wee folks are amazingly shrewd.
They love whiskey and will steal it from you:
if you forget to leave a drop or two,
spilling a little on the floor; will do.
Wherever a rainbow touches the ground,
keep your eyes open, have a look around;
for a pot of gold’s waiting to be found.
