Notes About The Poem

Irish setter dogs

St Patrick's Day Blarney

On St. Patrick's Day, old boozehound Barney
Howls grand Gaelic airs at a pub in Killarney
Place a strong stout at his paw
And he'll howl Erin go braugh!
Yes, County Kerry folk are given to blarney!

This was a great limerick Robert. You gave me a good laugh and reminded me of our friend Rico. Happy Belated St. Patty's to you. My Irish side (maiden name Fitzgerald) was from the county Kerry area, my late Papa's mom

I don't believe I'll ever fill Rico's shoes, but thank you for the compliment, and good day to you Nancy F. K.! Robert

Happy belated St Paddy’s Day. Barney probably wouldn’t knock back a bit of corned beef but I imagine he’d pass on the cabbage. Thanks for all the laughs. You made me morning. Ha ha SuZ

After the Guinness, he passed the cabbage onto the carpet, good ol' Barney, got to love him! Glad to put a smile on your lips and a twinkle in your eye, lass.

My own mutt is partial to the black stuff, especially if I spill some whilst pouring, dare I clean it up, if it’s on the ground it belongs to the hound, excellent Limerick, cheers David
