Green Attired Leprechaun Rascal Leprechauns, how they love to tease. They play tricks on you, then hide behind trees. After working hard making shoes all day They love to sing, and dance the night away. These wee folks always wear the color green For in the thick forest they can't be seen. They have red hair and live to be quite old. Humans hunt them to steal their pot of gold. They're known to offer three wishes if seized. So when I nabbed one I was very pleased. I wished for some food, he gave me a pig, Then he laughed at me while dancing a jig. But that little fellow was a great con... I blinked a second, and poof he was gone! 3-14-19 Green Humor Rhymes, Old or New for Prizes Poetry Contest Sponsor Carolyn Devonshire Happy Saint Patrick's Day Everyone!

Well, you know I can't write humor, but I tried for her contest. Too bad you forgot to wear green. Did you get pinched? My son and both daughters called me today which was a nice surprise. Hope you had a good day! hugs, Connie

I ran out of lines Rico and had to remove four lines. She had a limit of fifteen. I always include too many details in my poetry. I also found out there are no female Leprechaun's which is baffling how they continue without them! Lol. Happy St. Patrick's Day Rico, and thanks. : )
