Notes About The Poem

All in a Good Days Work

Sitting there watching from the corner of my eye From my kitchen window, what did I see? A leprechaun rolling his wheel barrow in his finery Full of gold coins entering a black door I looked around no one else was there He shouted” give me my gold and I go” “What gold” I shouted back Or was he making it up, was I in debt to him “No, no you got the wrong person” I shouted at him “No just give me that gold ring on your finger, now you able to pay” he said I shuddered went out the door and threw it at him It vanished so did he.

What a thieving leprechaun! That is one way to “make a living.” Perhaps at the rainbow’s end, he will have to pay back more than he stole.
