Have a Guiness and let’s toast St. Patrick
Whether laddie, lass or old codger geriatric
A bold gent with such clout
All Eire’s snakes he shooed out
Never has there been a saint so theatric!
Robert
I am an old codger geriatric
But I will raise a toast to ST. Patrick
For shooing those snakes
Away for our sakes
He definitely was Saint Fantastic

Today we give cheers to St. Paddy
Taken from the sea lake, Lochmaddy
He holds close a shamrock
Trinity clover keychain schlock
Never cotton to a baddy, a saintly laddy
by I Am Anaya
A tough lad born and bred in Lochmaddy
Poor Scottish lad became a priestdaddy
He had what it takes
To rid Eire of snakes
Yelling serpents begone, much thanks to St Paddy

St. Patrick was a slave.
He escaped and then forgave.
He brought Christ’s holy word
To those who had not heard.
They had been his captors.
He saved them from terrors.
With shamrock plant in hand
He helped them understand
That God was very grand.
God is a Trinity
In His divinity.
God is filled full of love
For those born from above.
This thrilled the Irish so.
They were happy to know
No more fear in the night
That them a god might smite.
They embraced Jesus Christ
And found that He sufficed.
That is why to this day
We hold St. Patrick's Day.

Wandering, lost in darkness
Flowing toward the light
tracing ever more
communing without sight
elected to fly
demented inside
powerful waves of joy sent us free
loving delight
belong to peace
witness the sky come alive
managing the shadows comply
wisdom to be still in this night

Step right up
Come down below
Welcome
To the side show
See rodeo clowns
Spiral down
Tendrils
Twine around
Hobo
Give us thrills
Break our hearts
Star attraction there’s
No sadder show revealed
Sure
To tear you apart

Magic Patrick
Magic Patrick can pull a rabbit from a hat.
No matter how far down, he always comes back.
Running up the field with a pivot and a pirouette.
Or scramble for an hour creating total unrest.
Slinging the ball around like he was shooting pool.
Posterizing players and taking them to school.
It started day one when he first came in.
That octane motor has been running ever since.
He throws side-armed, underhanded, and even with a jump.
And, when that doesn't work, he'll take off and run.
There must be consensus and a decision made.
That Magic Patrick has raised the level three grades.

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

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day Everyone!
*Saint Patrick, who lived during the fifth century, is the patron saint of Ireland and its national apostle. Born in Roman Britain, he was kidnapped and brought to Ireland as a slave at the age of 16. He later escaped, but returned to Ireland and was credited with bringing Christianity to its people.
*Erin go Bragh sometimes Erin go Braugh, is the anglicisation of an Irish language phrase, Éirinn go Brách, and is used to express allegiance to Ireland. It is most often translated as "Ireland Forever."[
*The St. Patrick's Day tradition was popularized by Irish immigrants in the United States, who believed that wearing green made them invisible to leprechauns—the classic fairy creatures who pinch anyone they can see.

SpongeBob Square Pants
loves his Krusty Krab job of aquatic grants
fulfilling Master-given role skillfully right
while warmed by sea-filled partnership delight.
Patrick Star
serves as his friend never far, though awesomely bizarre
enabling hilarious oceanic moments to reign
as the Creator* drives him for life enjoyment gain.
*Ecclesiastes 12:1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them.
