Seventeenth of March is Saint Patrick’s Day Great day for the Irish I can honestly say All over the world they’ll wear the green Drink some stout and a glass of poteen There will be parades up and down the land With marchers walking behind the band On lapels they’ll wear a sprig of green Outrageous hats so that they are seen You don’t have to be Irish to join in the fun The St Patrick’s parades are for everyone Some travel from near and some from afar By plane, boat, train and motor car If you’ve never been, go on enjoy the craic You will enjoy it for sure and next year, go back But it’s still March, might rain and be cold Look out for a rainbow, you might find the gold Many will be late going off to their bed The next morning they might have a fuzzy head But it’s only once a year so do have a ball And a Happy St Patrick’s Day to one and all.

It is so nice to know of the different festivities of various countries. Each culture and each group of people has its own celebrations. Thanks Tom for providing more details about St. Patrick day.

Thank you very much Valsa, it's a great day for the Irish who celebrate in style and they invite other cultures to join in the fun. Tom

Hi Tom, What a cute poem! Who wouldn't like to find a pot of gold but where does one find a leprechaun? Regards, Jennifer.

Hello Tom, for me a St. Patrick's Day celebration is a double celebration. Why? My nephew was born on that day. He is not Irish,but we still have a double celebration. Have a nice day my friend.

Tom, this is a poem that is ready to be put on a Hallmark card. This is exactly what they used to be like when they actually used words.

Thanks Maria, I've got a feeling that Jack would enjoy it, his lims would go down well along with the Guinness. Tom

Awesome poem for today, Tom. Love the rhymes. Very well written. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you as well, Dear. I wore a green hat yesterday for the children and had a few drinks with some friends after work. I guess you could say I celebrated a day early.
