Short Corned Poems

Americans eat the strangest things
corned beef and cabbage, green beer and wings
	instead have Irish Fry
	and Apple Tart Pie
with Potato Chip Sandwich, truth rings...

This man in Brooklyn named Isadore,
some big sandwiches he would adore.
Corned beef and pastrami,
and kosher salami.
He can’t fit in his clothes anymore.


Who says a limerick has to be Irish?...

Corned bread stuffed turkey

Well bless me soul 'tis that time o' the year

   To partake of corned beef, cabbage and beer

      To meet at Flanagan's Pub

         For socializin' and grub

            Again to toast the Old Sod we hold dear!

It’s Green – for contest

The young lad without tissues was fraught
his red nose running fast – never caught
his sleeve turning obscene
with St. Patrick’s day green
corned beef and cabbage it’s not.

Butter 12 slices of potatoes bread
With a garlic butter
Fry bread one side until brown
On the fried side
One slice of swiss cheese
Place one tablespoon of honey mambo and  saurkrut
Layer five to seven prices of corned beef
Or four roast beef and four corned beef
Top with swiss and grill until done.
Serve with a beer, ginger ale and lemon, with a spot of whiskey and sugar....

The ceiling sparkled;
I saw the big dipper, then the little one. 
The painters needed a bigger tip for their creative execution.
Without a warning to prepare, a requiem played. 
The symphony corned all aspects of a so-called classic; muffled screams, vulgar tongues and your tears – 
Silence doesn’t come fast and 
I begged for forgiveness and solidarity whilst connecting the dots of Orion.

Parade in the streets, eat corned beef,
And let the darkness flow.
St. James’s Gate is the birthplace.
Let the darkness flow.
Grand day for grazing, life’s amazing.
So let the darkness flow.
Jump in a reel or fiddle a jig.
Then let the darkness flow.
Drive out the snakes, embrace the blarney.
Letting the darkness flow.
It may be the day for wearing the green,
But let the darkness flow!

O say can you see
those mayo layered morsels,
sour kraut or sweet hams,
the corned beef and dill pickles,
bread fed by rivers of flavor!
Lettuce praise diner and deli,
the relish and aroma between
hungry eyes and belly.
Lord who made
the pork and beef,
the sandwich maker
and baker.
for all delectable sandwiches
imagined by the dawns early light,
yea, from sea to shining sea
we thank thee.

Last roar of the feline, snarling frigid and grim,
Bright colors in closets reemerge, crisp and trim.

Indulge in some corned beef, a mug of green beer,
The diamond gets busy for the grand game is here.

The swallows arrive once again, don't you fret,
If he makes this foul shot, the Final Four's set!

But before you begin the next month with your fibs,
Be aware of that knife they might stick in your ribs!...

All day Franco-American spaghetti-suckers
  do not make connoisseurs' lips pucker
Neither do grilled spiders and a side of beans
  appeal to kings or to queens

When looking to make a culinary splash
  never serve reheated corned-beef hash
And even if you're in a real time jam
  fuggetabout cold pizza topped-off with spam

Just stick to the basics, you'll surely succeed
  ~ A dozen raw eggs afloat in seaweed...

Me eyes growing tired...
From watching sad news 
So I laid on me couch...
And I kicked off me shoes 

Ate corned beef and cabbage...
With potatoes and carrots 
Had two shots of Irish whiskey 
After watching "News- Parrots" 

Repeating the same stuff... 
'Bout COV-19 
So I turned off me TV... 
And undressed me green 

'Fore my eyes finally close...
Got me one thing to say 
Whilst me eyes still awake... 
"Happy St. Patrick's Day"...

Prospective employers can be difficult to convince.
Especially if they only seek applicants with experience.
A gas station proprietor looks like a horse’s ass
when he seeks experienced persons to pump gas.
To make corned beef sandwiches, one needs two years experience?
There is an employer that doesn’t seem to have any sense.
A job seeker’s hopes can easily be killed
if that’s what it takes for manual labor positions to be filled.

When I get to heaven it will be St. Patrick’s Day
There will be a lassie there playing a harp merry and gay.
She will be wearing Irish colors, and there will be corned beef.
When I finally die of this cancer, it will also be a big relief.

But don’t angels wear white or pastels? Her grandchild asked.
There will be cabbage and shepherd’s pie, and ale in a flask.
Grandma was in her own world now, dreaming of a better time.
When she could taste Irish soda bread without standing in line....
