Premium Member After Seeing the Exorcist

On any St. Paddy’s Day, I would go to McDonald’s. Then I saw “The Exorcist”. No more shamrock shakes.

Premium Member March

March prances along wearing green
Shamrock shirts and denim jeans
So cold one day and hot the other 
I dare say like a bipolar spring lover

Premium Member Hiding Trian Rannaigechta Moire

Hiding so sly 
shameful shamrock;
Looking is strange? 
I take no stock;

Beyond the flock
a brand new friend;
They suit me fine,
luck can be found.

Premium Member Wearing the Green

We wear the green St. Patrick's day,
For he who drove the snakes away.
No matter the weather,
We parade together,
Holding a green shamrock bouquet.

St Patrick's Day

Haigh! Ye from Emerald Isles
Sky and seas hide in your eyes

Wear green pride on your sleeves
Stepdance, play harp and lyres

Wear a fresh shamrock, Pray
Happy Saint Patrick's day!


Limerick

There was an old leprechaun chief,
His haemorrhoids caused him some grief,
So he cussed and he swore
That his butt was so sore,
And wiped with a soft shamrock leaf.

Snakes In the Grass 2

In Ireland, the snakes caused quite a squawk;
they were green, pagan, of Druid stock       
        On occasion there came
        one St. Patrick by name
who drove out those snakes with a shamrock.

Premium Member Sweet Shamrock Song

Sweet shamrocks I love you, you are my favorite thing!
Evie collected them from an old fashioned swing
They filled up her lap and made her laugh go ting-a-ling.
St. Paddy’s day made her happy, causing her voice to sing.

Shamrock, Texas

brown on dusty mustard

clashes

with streaks of gray


we

drive through riding

the wave


haven't seen

a drop of rain

in days


sun bleaches boards

and bones

alike

Ireland

Who
cares for
fair Eire,
that emerald
isle across the sea?
Upon Cape Breton’s shore
I stand and wish for to be
a leprechaun with a shamrock
whilst expressing my love for Ireland,
whence smiling Irish eyes await for me.

Premium Member A Real Irish Cat

In County Cork prowls a cat, David Kavanagh Bellies up to the bar with Gilbey's glass in paw Drown the shamrock, sound the alarms Lassies abound, his lucky charms Blaring cheery shout outs of Erin Go Bragh!

Hooray for Saint Patrick’s Day
Hooray, hooray for Saint Patrick’s Day Hubby took steps unaided today It may be only two But at last a break through A shamrock for luck, we’re on our way.

Premium Member Irish Couplets

Shamrock shakes used to be high on my list.
I stopped drinking them after I saw The Exorcist.

For St. Paddy's Day, I drink beer that is green.
I make sure the glass it's served in is clean.

An Irish seven course dinner is what I have here:
A baked potato and a six-pack of beer.

Luck of a Shamrock

Luck of a shamrock, could it be true
  Magical plant, one day just grew
       Or lies told to me and you
        Tell me your point of view
            Fact or myth askew
               A shamrocks luck
                     I do pray
                       To be
                        True

Chef's Special

There was an old sauce chef from Killarney, 
    Whose Irish stew, was flavoured with blarney.
    While he quaffed bottles of hock,
    That was infused with shamrock.
    Which spiced up his special bouquet garni.

Premium Member It Is Not St Paddys Day

It is not St. Paddy's day!” the eight-year-old informed me.
He was the sixth person to say that to me today.
“I never said it was,” I agreed.
I am wearing a favorite green shamrock pin.
It amazes me that children have limited their thinking.
Believing we can only wear shamrocks on St. Paddys day.
Sad really.

Premium Member Guess Where I Work

Sparkling gold sequined top.
Glitzy shamrock necklace with twinkly silver chain.
Neon-green gemstone on one hand, pearl on the other.
Spider pin with a fat amber gemstone body and turquoise legs.
I threw on my multi-colored sparkly beads too, for good measure.
I want everyone to know I teach at a grade school.

Premium Member Disregard for Matching Clothes

Matching clothing was never my idea
I need comfort, cozy and color.
I am wearing my favorite pants, zigzag black and white.
My multicolored shoes have nine other colors.
Green sweatshirt has a giant white shamrock on the front.
It’s not St Patrick’s Day
I never said it was
Matching clothing was never my idea

Celtics laud place of hawks 
mi ancestors move beyond 
the greenery the gravity of 
harsh findings rolling over 
meadows and mead craving 
the heavenly harness meeting 
between Devon Tullock missouri 
minding the mended fences 
crawling ivy surety closes our 
eyes as shamrock dance greeting 
tomorrow morning today

Two Limericks For Saint Patrick's Day

I.

I strolled through a field of clovers 
Looking each one of them over 
When I found that fourth leaf 
All my joy turned to grief 
When my prize was snatched by a gopher.


II.
 
Last night as I left the bar 
A leprechaun stood by my car 
He offered to drive 
So I’d get home alive 
And now I don’t know where we are.

Gecko

Mary had a gecko
Its skin was shamrock green
But everywhere that Mary went
It changed its colour scheme

When Mary went to Heaven
Her gecko made the scene
Saint Peter sent them back again
He thought they had gangrene!

So when you get to Heaven
And you need a go-between
Just ask for Mary's gecko
Its the Devil's own routine!

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 hurts
