The Jig is up

They do it in halls, even farms,
it’s part of an Irishman’s charms;
but the whole world was shook
when Flynn found the lost book:
Irish Dance, Volume Two, The Arms.

Irish practices and folklores are so very interesting. A hilarious limerick with great rhyming. All the best dear Terry.
