The famous Blarney Stone, some can't resist
When in Ireland, it's on tourist's checklist
But do not be deceived
If it's to be achieved
Some help from friends you might want to enlist
It's said, once kissed you'll have the gift of gab
But the position's sent some to rehab
It's all about talking
But I'd call it squawking
Those who've done it more often, blab and blab
Reaching the Blarney Stone can be a chore
Kissing it is filled with stories of lore
I'm not a germaphobe
But my lips will not probe
The rock that was kissed many times before
Tom shared his Blarney Stone story. Oh, dear
In one photo he wore the look of fear
He was pale as a ghost
Then he offered a toast
"To the Stone, I shall drink a Guinness Beer!"
~~~~~~ Lin Lane
At the tower, wind would chill to the bone
Tom's wife wasn't impressed and had a moan
But so determined was he
For the magic stone to see
And kiss it, the world-famous Blarney Stone.
The deed done they went back to their hotel
Tom's wife was feeling the chill, you could tell
Irish whiskey put her right
Tom never shut up all night
Fairies of eloquence had cast their spell.
~~~~~~ Tom Cunningham
I tried to kiss that stone, to no avail
Turned out to be a monumental fail
While lying on my back
There was an ant attack
Red ones biting me, so I had to bail
~~~~~~ Mark Koplin
Fred went to kiss the magic Blarney stone
To find a new mate and not be alone
Hoping for virility
To increase ability
But it was still left limp and had not grown
~~~~~~ Tania Kitchin
I never gave the Blarney Stone a kiss
As I'd got a bad hip, gave it a miss
So the gift of the gab
Is not in my vocab
The Hubby calls it ineffable bliss.
~~~~~~ Beryl Edmonds
The tales of Blarney’s stone they sing
And the gift tis said the kiss will bring
The echoed brogue
Of ranting rogue
To talk for an hour not say a thing
~~~~~~ John Lawless
Johnny fox wanted to get off his rocks
Just one problem, he was no chatter box
He kissed the blarney stone
Hoping to hear girls moan
Now he’s recovering from some hard knocks
~~~~~~ David Kavanagh
The Blarney Stone, I’ve kissed it too -
It was pretty awkward to do
I got over my fears
Now I have folk in tears
Of laughter with poems on pooh!
~~~~~~ Jan Allison
I tried to kiss it, truly I did
I gave it my best bid
The twist in my tongue
From where I’d begun
Left me with a twitching eyelid
~~~~~~ Linda Alice Fowler
In Blarney there’s one magic stone
When you kiss it, you’re put in the zone
You’ll soon gab with words so glib
Matters not if it’s truth or fib
With a stout Guinness, one must atone
~~~~~~ Sara Etgen Baker
I thought Blarney Stone would be great to see
And whilst there, I shall give a kiss to thee
But upon asking a man
Who went by the name of Sam
I found not green algae but a bit of wee
~~~~~~ Christina Bowring
"My husband's a pain in the neck
and never shuts up for a sec,"
she said with a moan.
"He's eyeing that stone...
and kissed it again. Feckin' heck!"
~~~~~~ Jack Horne
