Ireland's Oldest Leprechaun...A Poem by chuck
The legend of the Leprechaun from
the land across the sea You can find him on the Emerald Isle in his suit of clover green They say if you catch a Leprechaun, and then you set him free He will have to grant 3 wishes, what would your wishes be? Leprechauns are hard to catch, they hide in caves and rabbit holes Cobblers by trade, they dance so much their shoes have worn out soles It's said that Leprechauns drink Irish Whiskey every single night They may be tiny creatures, but they can handle any fight On my very last trip to Dublin, I caught the oldest Leprechaun of all He was wrinkled and several centuries old, stood only 3 feet tall I captured him and then let him go and he granted me 3 wishes He gave me gold, he gave me fame and one million angel kisses I'll never forget that Leprechaun and the stories that he told He took me to the end of the rainbow and gave me a pot of gold So, to this day I go and pray at the Catholic Church in town And I celebrate the day I caught Ireland's oldest Leprechaun © 2023 chuck |
