*1169, Rawmaish
Be complainers they are without a doubt,
and compliments they may well do without,
when rumors to change their scheme,
like green, whiskey...built up steam,
also Irish stew to Sauer kraut,
Till Saint Patrick's became Saint George, was it,
all of Ireland, northern too, had a fit,
these saints were naught inherent,
as truth snubbed was transparent,
at least their lucky charms spelt, they're no brit.
*1169 Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland establishing British rule.
Rawmaish, British-English from Irish-Gaelic ráiméis, meaning nonsense.
