A St Patrick's
Day Poem
by Marc Gunn, Bard 3/17/2003
We had
a wonderfully busy St Patrick's Day performing throughout Central
Texas and experiencing a wide variety of entertaining as people define
what St Patrick's Day means to them. And it is both silly and grand. Don't forget your copy of The Holy Grail of Irish Drinking Songs or Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers.
St Patrick's
Day music,
St Patrick's Day drink,
St Patrick's Day merriment,
Grand birthday for me.
All are
Irish on St Patrick's Day
Shamrock stickers stuck to cheeks
Bluegrass mixed with Irish drinking songs
Makes your heritage feel complete.
People
dressed as leprechauns
Drinking green beer
Living the life of the "Irish"
While making some people sneer.
But the
Irish unite around the world
Singing songs on St Patrick's Day
Tapping toes and whirling jigs
While the Fae folk hide and play.
Finnegan
grabs his mug of beer.
Paddy works hard on the railroad.
Lanigan dances. Biddy Mulligan cheers.
And down in the valley, the bogs explode.
St Patrick's
Day culture.
St Patrick's Day birth.
St Patrick's Day poetry and song
Filled with magical St Patrick's Day mirth.
