Irish

For today, the world is Irish And we’ll all be dressed in green. There’ll be bagpipes, plaids and Bailey’s Where the celebrants convene. We’ll drink Jameson and Guinness. There’ll be marching bands galore. We’ll see kilts and Tam O’Shanters Like we’ve never seen before. We’ll hear “Danny Boy” a’playin’ Sung with lovely Irish brogue; See a sea of thick white sweaters Like they’ve always been in vogue. On St. Paddy’s day we’re Irish And if someone doubts your claim, Introduce yourself but add The letter “O’” before your name! Ilene O’Bauer

On Christmas we all pretend we're good, so on St Padraigh's Day we can all pretend to be Irish. The O'Meagher (mother's side) in me salutes you, and this piece. - Chuck
