Ireland
Velvety soft petals of three or four,
basking in the richness of emerald green
Through legends spoken I've heard before,
yet, in a valley I have never seen.
A rainbow arches across the sky,
at it's very end the mystical pot o gold
I've wondered where the riches lie,
at the end the colors bright and bold
Little men, shillelagh in hand,
with bearded face and rosy nose
this fellow from a magical land,
how quickly that, he comes and goes
With Pubs with taps of stoutly ale,
where the Gaelic music plays
you can hear a very hearty tale,
of the simple Irish ways
Someday, I'll travel to the Isle,
to the land of Emerald Green
like a Leprechaun, with wink and smile,
that's where I'd like to be
