Green Humor Contest

A Pinch of Red and Green St. Patrick’s Day They pinch without green then take a sip of beer Small in size holding on to their pot of gold Once depicted in red this comes from the old Then green appeared and they captured all the gold Short in stature they also can disappear while sipping on a glass of ice cold green beer A symbol of the Irish a four leaf clover shall bring luck A fairy tale this could be but don’t believe A pinch you shall receive for we all believe In the Irish legion of the green Leprechaun Enjoy this day that we celebrate that falls on Sunday For on Monday we all go to work saving for our pot of gold Then the IRS will steal your gold and put you in a pinch For the IRS is like the Irish Leprechaun only dressed in red Pretending to be your friend using a four leaf deduction Thinking your are in the green but putting you in the red Contest: Green Humor Sponsored by: Carolyn Devonshire Date Created: 03/15/2019

Bobby, your entry went beyond the 15-line limit for the contest, but I still thought it deserved recognition for its originality. Congratulations on your win! There were many great entries and judging is always a challenge. Best wishes, Carolyn

Hi Bobby, I liked how you put together. Enjoyed the comparison of the IRS being an Irish Leprechaun. Good entry for the contest. Best wishes in the contest:-) Alexis
