There was once an elf who learnt how to brew a full-bodied beer and cook Irish stew. He mixed them both together with whisky for good measure. When BANG went the pot a tantrum he threw! -- --- --- - -- --- - - - - -- Contest: Luck of the Irish Sponsor: Kim Merryman Placed 5th © 15th March 2017

Lol! I got a kick out of this very humorous write, Paul. What a potent concoction :) Your last line had me giggling, inspiring such a great visual of an Irish Leprechaun throwing a tantrum!! :)) A charming and witty write my friend. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Brings back memories of Irish Stew cooked by the nuns in school - they kept the Whisky - Now I know why they were always so jolly - I enjoyed you Irish Leprechaun. I was always looking for his legendary' Pot of Gold' under the rainbow when I was a kid. Little did I know the legend was actually about his Stew Pot on the Nuns table...Maria

Hi Maria...thank you for the entertaining comments:) I went to a nuns' kindergarten and they used to give me buttered bread & fried potatoes which smelled and tasted heavenly. Once they got me to wear part of a nun's attire after I got soaked to the skin!! Regards // paul
