Galway Green

There once was a laddie from Galway
Lassies asked if he wore green, he said, “No way,”
I’m not trying to be smart,
It’s tattooed o'er my heart
But feel free to give me a pinch anyway!

How strange that this contest title should remind me so much of that great W. B. Yeats poem: Easter 1916... Now and in time to be, Wherever green is worn, Are changed, changed utterly: A terrible beauty is born. Good luck in the contest, Tom...And a happy and contented Easter this holiest of days. My best regards! :) john
