The Irish Invented Everything

THE IRISH INVENTED EVERYTHING Ireland invented everything; I think it’s fair to say From the automatic office door, to the LED display We put the first man on the moon, conceived the mobile phone Discovered Mars and Pluto, and of course, the twilight zone Planes and trains and trucks and cars, were all invented here We even had the concept, of putting twelve months in the year We invented ships and submarines, and the humble coffee cup Sure we even made Viagra, just to keep our peckers up We invented drums and violins, then trumpets and guitars But playing makes you thirsty, so we invented Irish bars We developed all the medicine, on which the world depends Then we gave you love and hatred, and the means to make amends We discovered beer and cider, we discovered whiskey too And we started brewing Guinness, which is very good for you We gave you sweets and chocolate, and all that tasty stuff And we invented soft pyjamas, plus that bellybutton fluff We invented roads and pavements, and we introduced the bridge The cooker and the washing machine, we even claim the fridge We invented mirth and humour, and we taught the world to sing Sure you gotta love the Irish ………….. We invented everything……….

This poem is delightful Leslie, speaking from someone who claims a lot of irish heritage. I loved it! : )

LOL.... It's true...The Irish really do think they invented everything.

The Irish have this notion that everything was actually invented in Ireland, so this is a comical look at what they believe to be true
