Matthew O' Harris Ease A "FAKE" Irishman

Since adopting the guise
of Norwegian bachelor farmer,
I may as well fabricate genetic stock
lock, and barrel linkedin to Celtic legend.

Sentimentalism invariably swelled me bosom
regarding how grown former bonny lad,
essentially mutely...

Dragon sat in the bushes all night long, for he wanted to catch himself a Leprechaun.
See Leprechauns have gold by the buckets full, and Dragon wanted himself… some.
So our sly little Dragon had put a...

An Irish lad
Of seven or so
Bears witness to the hate in his fathers eyes
As the British with guns walked on by
Never knew a soldier who wanted to die
Especially one not seeking battle
Ahhh but if eyes...

Flight

One day, Maewyn was in the pasture,
	Tending his master's herds,
		When he heard spoken, clear as a spring,
	These few simple words,
			"Your ship is ready." the voice did say,
				He started then to run		
					And didn't stop to take...

Deeds

Patrick traveled lightly, 
	He carried but his needed load
		And made himself as useful 
	As he could along the road.
			He aided all who asked him,
				Offering a hand where'er he went
					And they, pagan or not, knew in...

III
Return

Patrick had to deter the robbers 
	And thieves he met along the road,
		Ward off viscious creatures,
	Yet steadily he strode
			Until, at last, he came upon
				A landmark he well knew
					And saw that he had triumphed over
				Obstacles not...

Matriculation

Back to home, Patrick did go,
	For in his heart he knew
		It was time to study with the church,
	That this he had to do.
			He told his parents when he got home
				That he must go to France
					And...

Conclusion

Patrick was a gentle soul, 
	With joy and kindness he was rife,
		He served one god, his Creator,
	Thankful for being given life.
			On March 17th, year 460
				Patrick took his final breath,
					Though, by the pope, never canonized,
				The people...

Introduction

Ye laddies and ye lassies, 
	Please bear my words a while,

 	That against me ye won't rile):

A green object is easy to see

Saint Patrick died on March 17th.
So we celebrate the day with green and drink.

Patrick, was kidnapped to Ireland as a slave,
a condition he never fully forgot or forgave.

Deeds (Continued)
In County Peregal there is Lough Derg
	(To us Red Lake)
		Where dwelled a massive serpent,
	To whom the pagans would make
			Sacrifice, 'til Patrick stood upon the shore
				And offered up a prayer,
					The worm was stunned, fast paralyzed

We celebrate Saint Patrick.
He brought Christianity.
The patron saint of Ireland.
Bake soda bread and wear green today.

But there is another, in the ground it does grow
A three leafed clover and tiny it may be
Was used by Saint Patrick to explain the trinity.

Shamrocks bringing you luck.

The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
