Notes About The Poem

St Patrick's Day Disaster

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!

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.
