Cincinnati

There was a wee one they called Patty 
Who made his home in Cincinnati
From Dublin to Ohio
He left and decided to go
His friends thought he was quite batty

His mum thought it was a pity
But he brought his green to the new city 
He brought over clover
And spread it all over
Everyone thought it was pretty

We could use some green up here too, Timothy. But first we'll have to get rid of our snow.
