The Little Manx Cat
The little Manx cat
has a short and stubby tail
This is how they're born.
They come from the Isle of Man.
It's out in the Irish Sea.

Dublin Rain
Ah, the Irish city of Dublin!
Sure 'tis always bustlin' and rumblin'!
And, at times, when it rains,
folks try not to complain,
in spite of the puddlin' and bubblin'!...

The Irish Setter
He’s Irish not Scottish or British
You forget, he’ll get ornery and skittish
He’ll point to his pelt
Start swearing in Celt
With a splash of some Gaelic and Yiddish...

Luck of the Irish Limerick
Last night I heard the banshee,
After a few swigs of whiskey,
And after I heard her scream,
I poured some Bailey's and cream.
Now I cannot hear her nor see.

Drink Guinness
St Patrick’s day is great
to drink Guinness and relate
how great the Irish are
at falling out of bar
in a highly drunken state

Bad Luck of the Irish
Mr. O'Toole in trauma sat in front
Seeking mercy from tax assessor stunt.
His Irish luck grace
Full Blown-in his face.
With distaste pay money in full upfront.

To The Irish Poets
They are all gone now,
Heaney, Mahon and Longley
the last to go.
Their words speak
to these troubled times
with a lasting humanity.
Thanks be
to poetry's Irish trinity.

St Pat's Day
The Irish, 'tis said, as a nation,
They're quite fond of inebriation.
So they guzzle large vats
On the day called St. Pat’s
'Tween rounds of Gaelic fornication.

The Luck of the Irish
A leprechaun looking for gold
'neath the shimmering shamrocks of olde
(with the luck of a Gael)
found ten bottles of ale
somewhat green as if covered with mould.

WISDOM AND NATURE
Today I relay a message from the Irish philosopher Edmund Burke
Which, I imagine he must have acquired from his mother….
Never…no never did nature say one thing
and wisdom say another.

Out of This World
There was a gal who saw little green men
while drinking Guinness - about nine or ten,
she thought they would disappear
if she stopped the Irish beer...
but she's become their earthly specimen!...

Alas for the Irish ‘tis fate
to drown in Guinness this date
and “quietly” shout
hoorah for the “stout”
‘Tis an insatiable thirst I must sate

Smarmy Lady
I once met a lady from Killarney
Her tendencies leaned toward the smarmy
Wore the briefest of shorts
Couldn’t hide her big warts
But, she could handle the Irish army.

No more of us
No more of us
That is when I close my mind
Early of day
To not repay time
You cannot see my face at last
She will not be for your world
I came from within hers
Contritions women
Least of the Irish slaves...

The Luck of the Irish
The luck of the Irish has always been
St Patrick did not preach for men to preen
in great lewdness and less love
but for friends to look above...
with gratitude garnished with touch of green.

He Rid Erin of Snakes: Or Did He
'Tis said Saint Patrick rid Erin of snakes
If such is true what a great tale it makes
Skeptics claim it ain't true
Others haven't a clue
Could be a scam like the Irish Sweepstakes...

Good Luck, Sam
GOOD LUCK, SAM
Shamrocks with green eggs and ham.
Resistance from Sam I Am.
If you offer him gold,
he won’t see the mold.
Leprechauns roar at the sham.

Saint Patrick's Parade
Off, Seamus marched with a swagger,
Yet, soon, he slowed, that sly lagger.
Then, not very far,
He snuck to a bar:
By noon, his march was a stagger.

The Drum Majors Mishap
The Irish pipe band played Amazing Grace
Their drum major showed his skills with the mace
In the air he threw it
But misjudged and blew it
When it came down and hit him in the face...

A Wee Bit O' the Irish
McPherson, McGregor, McTavish and me
All went out for a wee cup o’ tea.
McPherson took sugar, just one lump I see,
McGregor took two lumps, McTavish took three.
I settled for lemon, no sugar for me,
I don’t like those sweets inside of my tea....
