Larry Bradfield Poet Limerick

Patrick Put the Ire In Ireland

There are no snakes in Ireland today
For St.Patrick has cast them away
They had attacked the wrong dude
Which Patrick thought was quite rude
So celebrate St. Patrick this day

In a forty day fast for his Lord
St. Pat was attacked by a snake horde
As he shook his sacred staff
He said, "I'll have the last laugh"
And he drove them to sea as he roared

Carolyn Devonshire February 19, 2019 at 4:44 PM Larry, your poem was not only well written, but informative as well. I didn't know that St. Patrick was credited with driving snakes out of Ireland. There were some wonderful entries in this category. Congratulations on your second-place win! Best wishes, Carolyn Larry Bradfield February 19, 2019 at 9:48 PM Thank you, Carolyn! and thanks for the placement. My grandmother was an Irish lass that came over as indentured servant...never met her, but sometimes I can feel the Blarney in my bones..LOL
