Snakes In the Grass 2

In Ireland, the snakes caused quite a squawk;
they were green, pagan, of Druid stock       
        On occasion there came
        one St. Patrick by name
who drove out those snakes with a shamrock.

Nice one Reason and congrats on your placement in my contest. There is a song done by Christy Moore/Planxty called St Patrick or Patrick was a gentleman. If you get the chance you should listen to it.

thanks for the honor of a placement, Oliver. I'll try to chase down that song. Have a great end of March; I'll welcome less windy gusts.
