On March Seventeen on St. Paddy's Day 
Finbar and Connor drank close to the bay          
they ate green saltines 
and caught wild sardines 
but without any jacks, they couldn't stay 

they whized and staggered up dingle harbour 
sat at the marina, and ate hot spicy chowder
they whistled and sang 
while their stomachs? oh dang !  
out to the jack, they pushed it out farther    

Finbar and Connor off to Dingle, County Kerry
to join the big parade of pompous dignitaries 
light and airy feeling Holy 
tooting out just like a Dooley 
the day just fell away like wind in the prairies.

Creative way to go for a contest. At least, I think it must be a contest for I have seen more of these. Way to go. You did good on the rhyme, and rhythm of these. Sara
