     ********************************************************************************************

 

There’s coming a time of great cheer
when folks will drink gallons of beer
   tell tales of wee sprites
   and magical sights.
St. Patrick’s Day soon will be here.

On that day, if you don’t wear green,
just stay in your house. Don’t be seen,
   or else a hard pinch
   might cause you to flinch.
Some pinchers can be downright mean!

Oh, I'll be sure to wear green so those "pinchers" don't come after me on St. Patrick's Day, Janice! Enjoyed the humor very much. There were some wonderful entries in this category. Congratulations on your second-place win! Best wishes, Carolyn

I like this, Janice. So they actually say head to toe in green ? some cheaters just pin a green paper on their clothing around here to avoid the pinch!

Neat piece, Janice. My grandson for one. But my favorite color is green and my phone cover is green, my coffee thermos is green, even my eyes are green...I'm usually covered regardless of the date.
