Ralph Taylor Poet Limerick

The Ole Blarney Stone

If I were a stone what one would I be?

I'd want to be one, everyone wants to see!

     Like they would for a star,

     folks would come from afar

just to visit the Castle and "ME"!


At Blarney Castle I would not be alone.

As a matter of fact,  I'm very well known!

     Visitors would be quite remiss,

     to not plant a Kiss,

on "ME",  the Ole Blarney Stone!


NOTE:  Blarney Castle is located in 
County Cork, Ireland.  A Stone of 
Eloquence is located in the castle
tower.  Legend has it that if you
kiss the stone, you'll never be lost 
for words!  Thousands go there
every year to kiss the Stone!
I kissed it in July 1984!
