Irish Tall Tale

Come all ye, kiss that blarney stone
Join in the legend and be known
For the gift of gab
Ye come kiss the slab
Eloquence and luck shall be shown

Thanks Tim. It's located about 5 miles from Cork......the word blarney has come to mean "clever, flattering, or coaxing talk". I hope to kiss the stone one day. My guy is from Ireland. Hugs

Thanks, I had wrote this for your contest, but it filled up before I could enter, so I entered it into PD's any poem contest. Yay it won! : )

Now this is some cute limericking!! I would dearly love to kiss that Blarney stone! (just think of all the mouths that were on it. hahaha. i wonder if they wash it down each day!!)

Yes, the stone is washed between kisses....I like to do it too. ~The kiss the stone with one's lips, you must ascend to the castle's peak, then lean over backwards on the parapet's edge with the help of an assistant.~ Do you have fear of heights?
