Old Paddy supped ten pints of ale Now drunk as a skunk, he turned pale He slewed to the right Got into a fight Now Paddy’s residing in jail! 03~14~17

Jan, In Boston(when I was a younger man) the police would call for the "Paddy Wagon" on friday nights to haul off the drunken "Paddy's". So congrats on this "top of the heap" remembrance.
