The Leprechauns’ Dance

Beneath the emerald hills they hide,
Where shadows stretch and secrets bide,
The leprechauns with hats so green,
Dance where only dreams are seen.

They laugh and twirl in moonlit glow,
Their golden coins they softly throw.
A wink, a jig, a merry sound,
A hidden treasure underground.

With mischief in their sparkling eyes,
They hide their wealth where magic lies.
A rainbow leads, but

Premium MemberSending In the Leprechauns

you have a boo boo?
May pixies sprinkle it with kindness
Divorce in the family?
I shall send in the gnomes.
Family death?
nurturing leprechauns better bring more than gold.

Talk of Leprechauns

My grandkids talk of leprechauns 
As if they are alive
And finding one is something
For which both of them do strive.

They know that unicorns aren’t real,
So telling them the truth
Seems easy, but they still believe 
A fairy takes their tooth.

Of course, because St.Patrick’s Day
Is right around the bend,
I think I’ll just keep quiet 
And let both

Premium MemberThe People Who Live Deep Underground

It’s said that there are people, 
who live Beneath the ground.  
Deep within Earth’s middle, 
little folks can be found.

Not Leprechauns or Gnomes with tempers;
no Elves or Trolls, are to be seen.
I’m told, they have some ghastly tempers;
when prying eyes won’t leave them be.

They often wander up above 
to play with human minds.

A leprechaun bearded and old
Was packing a pipe as he told
At the rainbow's end
He said to me friend
They are after me pot of gold

Do Leprechauns Exist
Want to know if Leprechauns do exist?
Put out a trap to attract them like this
On Saint Patrick’s Eve
Bake dozens of these 
Biscuits that look like gold nugget snippets.

Premium MemberThe Elusive Leprechauns

Bet your wondering why they're never seen?
The wee leprechauns all wearing the green
Well I'll tell you why
And this is no lie
They're all unconscious from too much Poteen



written 23rd February 2021



Poteen, known as poitin or potcheen, once illegal but now distilled commercially.
It is a very strong spirit once made from potatoes but now more often than

A Yarn of Leprechauns

Come hear me yarn of leprechauns
A thieving little folk,
That left me laying by me pond
Asleep beneath me oak.

They came about the midnight hour
To lay me cupboard bare,
And then they used their magic powers
Me vision to impair.

They ate me apples I had dried
And hung there in the sun,
Then took me crumpets that I fried
And even got

Leprechauns and Gold

Today's a day to celebrate
To drink your green whiskey, your green beer
But keep a smile upon your face
Pass lots and lots of cheer
May you catch that little green leprechaun
Steal his pot of gold at the end of his rainbow
Don't forget the Shamrock place on your shirts
So everyone will pass you by not pinching
Crap that really

Where the Leprechauns Play

I tip toe through the darken forest
Shhhh! This is my favorite tune
Notes astray from a thickset underbelly hollow
It’s like gold on the wind that’s spun anew

A snap of fingers and click of heels
Beneath a toadstool where I see mighty movement
It’s a belly aching fiddler conspiring with wee laughter
And my feet begin to dance a merriment

Premium MemberLeprechauns Gold

Walking along the path of the Leprechaun,
was the greenest grass I've ever walked on.
The sound of a harp whistled through the trees.
A little wood nymph said "Follow me please."

I stayed really close afraid to get lost.
First time in Ireland she was the boss.
"A little bit further to a pot of Gold,
If you're deserving, of it

The Leprechauns Gold

Nothing can compare to you, you are the original
creation of heaven, I believe the lord was boasting
when he made you,you beseech the dawn and sun
set with your smile, how could I have missed your 
shine all this while, your image embodies mystery
and beauty, like the sight of nature or the beauteous
 immensity of the grand
