An Irish Band

Went to see an Irish band
For a late St. Patrick’s day
In a little local restaurant
Not very far away.

The fireplace was crackling,
The menu Irish-based,
The Guinness fresh and flowing,
All just perfect for my taste.

The 3 piece combo sang and played
Guitar and pipe and flute.
A banjo and a concertina
Joined the fun, to boot.

We rarely get to do this 
But as time makes it advance,
We should grab each opportunity 
While we still have the chance.
