Irish Green

Irish Green

A Poem by Melanie Jane Boicourt Shanks

With some Irish Spring, I lather well.

Green Apple shampoo, I love the smell.

Whistle clean now, I hang my green rag.

I wear my lime shirt and jeans with green tag.

In my hunter green truck I drive off to work.

Irish cream in my coffee, for a nice perk.

Her emerald eyes greet me at the door.

She says to me, "Why all the green for?"

I try to think of something Irish to say.

Then she says, "St. Patrick's was yesterday."

Instead of "Why all the green for?" I'd suggest "What's all the green for?" I think it still flows with your poem - and it makes more sense. Did you mean to type "what's"?

Charming and very funny - You should try making some of these into e-cards, if you want to. I think you might even be able to sell them and promote your work. (some people are insulted when I suggest this, no idea why, but please don't be mad)

Thanks for sharing, it made me smile :D

Haha, I love the last line where she says,""St. Patrick's was yesterday." That made me laugh. But this was a very good poem... :D

Irish cream in my coffee, for a nice perk.
that's the only the that throws it off "for a nice perk"
maybe if you put "a nice little perk" just to keep the flow or something..
its your poem.. its great how it is!

This was a fun little poem... sorry my 'review' is a day late ;)
Like Dylan I had a slight stumble mid-way. I stumbled over the Irish cream line the first time I read it. Maybe one beat too many in the 'to go'. If the line was shortened by a syllable it might work better. Something like 'Irish cream in my coffee, just for a perk'. Just a suggestion. Hope you don't mind. Either way it is a good poem and was obviously written for fun above anything else.
Well done and thanks for sharing. NH
