Have a Guiness and let’s toast St. Patrick Whether laddie, lass or old codger geriatric A bold gent with such clout All Eire’s snakes he shooed out Never has there been a saint so theatric! Robert I am an old codger geriatric But I will raise a toast to ST. Patrick For shooing those snakes Away for our sakes He definitely was Saint Fantastic Beryl

Nice read for today, March 17. So many people don't like snakes. I find them adorable. But the poison snakes are just as well to leave Ireland. I like this historical poem. The picture in green is fantastic. Erin go braghh

Happy St Patrick's, Paula! Iceland and Ireland are the only countries without any indigenous snakes, just an occasional rude tourist, lol. Thank you. My best, Robert
