A Saint Patrick’s Limerick

A leprechaun who was afraid To take part in today’s big parade Found a good place to hide But once he was inside Quickly saw the mistake he had made. For instead of a pub to appease, With some corned beef and Guinness to please, It became very plain He’d be eating lo mein Since the place he was in was Chinese. Still, the waiters went out of their way To make sure that this unplanned delay Was as good as could be So, along with his tea Was a cookie to brighten his day. When he opened the fortune, he read, “Though you’re Irish, we’re glad you were led To try out our cuisine; Now it’s back to the green For great riches for you lie ahead!”
