Limerick For Saint Patrick's Day

A pre-alcoholic Irishman nearing the brink, Was convinced by his wife he should go see a shrink. And after only one session He learned a valuable lesson, He would much rather give up his wife than the drink.

Depending on the health of his marriage, I'd say he made the right choice with his drink. / Maurice

Lol. I’m sure after sober, he’s crawling on his knees begging for forgiveness. Nice one, Jim. :)

Or maybe she's just waiting to push him over that brink. Thanks, Fin.

Thanks, Ilene. I guess we've all got a little Irish in us.
