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 2-17-19

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

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
