Only Half Irish- You See
I recall days of yesterday and St. Patrick greenish fun,
drinking up glasses of green beer till I was undone.
My Irish grandma sure loved that special shamrock day,
because she baked for us a huge emerald food display.
There were cookies, puddings, and a lime green cake,
with tons of green decorations that she liked to make.
I recall some odd looking drinks of a questionable green,
on St. Patrick day, my grandma was the Shamrock queen.
Now, I like to do a jig and am a fan of Irish dances,
where we whirled and spun and the boys made advances.
We would let them chase us through the green clover,
give a silly kiss and then we would start all over.
Of course, we all had to dress in green clothes,
it was fun to see what silly thing some people chose.
I wore a green tea shirt that said I'm Irish kiss me,
but that's a lie because I'm really only half Irish- you see!
