Tom Cunningham Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

St Patricks Day

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.

Valsa George October 19, 2022 at 6:22 AM 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. Tom Cunningham October 19, 2022 at 8:17 AM 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

Jennifer Proxenos October 8, 2018 at 1:48 PM 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. Tom Cunningham October 8, 2018 at 2:10 PM Thank you Jennifer, they only come out when you're not looking, yes I've kissed the Blarney stone lol. Glad you liked it. Tom.

Darlene De Beaulieu March 28, 2018 at 10:12 AM 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. Darlene De Beaulieu March 29, 2018 at 7:47 AM Yes they are.Happy Easter my friend. Tom Cunningham March 28, 2018 at 10:35 AM Thank you Darlene, it is a great celebration for the Irish, but everyone is invited. Tom

Caren Krutsinger March 25, 2018 at 11:51 PM 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. Tom Cunningham March 26, 2018 at 2:02 AM Thank you Caren, a great day for the Irish indeed, Although born in the UK, both my parents are from the emerald isle. Tom

Maria Williams March 19, 2018 at 10:46 PM Sounds like a lot of fun, like this fun write of yours Tom. We have an Irish Pub near us where they celebrate in true Irish style, a little bit loud and rowdy, still happy though, Lol....Maria Tom Cunningham March 20, 2018 at 12:50 AM Thanks Maria, I've got a feeling that Jack would enjoy it, his lims would go down well along with the Guinness. Tom

Andrea Dietrich March 19, 2018 at 3:04 PM Are you Irish. It's half in my blood!! Caren Krutsinger March 25, 2018 at 11:50 PM I know you were not asking me, but I too, am half Irish, Andrea. An Iowegian and half Irish, and we both teach. Hmmmmm....

Andrea Dietrich March 19, 2018 at 3:04 PM what a happy St. Patrick's Day poem. I have written a few in my day. Sadly, this year it just kind of slipped past me. It was a Saturday and on weekday, I dress in green for my students! Tom Cunningham March 19, 2018 at 3:26 PM Thank you Andrea, I was born in the UK, but both parents came from Co Clare on the west coast of Ireland, I've been over many times Tom
