Nancy Kaufman Poet Light Verse

You Might Be Irish

If your favorite color is green and of the Emerald Isles you dream, you might be Irish. If when you kissed the Blarney Stone you knew at las you were at home, you might be Irish. If you believe in leprechauns and fairies and hidden treasures that lay buried, you might be Irish. If you like your lasses bawdy and tell jokes a little naughty, you might be Irish. If you can dance an Irish gig and at the pubs the whiskey swig, you might be Irish. If your mom cooked an Irish stew and you just happen to be Catholic too, you might be Irish. If your last name is Fitz, Riley or O'Keefe, your most definitely Irish, good grief! If not then just for this one day, we'll say your Irish any way. Happy St. Patty's!
