Get Your Irish On

A fun little Poem for St. Patrick's Day

Get your Irish on for today’s the day,

To don some green and keep the leprechauns at bay.

Ride that Rainbow to the pot of gold,

A Celtic tradition from the tales of old.

I’ve puckered up and kissed the Blarney stone,

Now the gift of gab is mine alone.

Now how about a Limerick,

A poem in a poem, a neat little trick.

A short little man wearing green,

Who stood near a bright colorful beam,

He watched his pot O’gold,

But that was getting old,

So he sold it and lived his dream.

With my clover in hand I’ll try my luck,

Maybe this time I won’t suck.

My turn arrives and I step up,

And without barely trying I make the cup!

The beer pong champ, I begin my reign,

Forget chess or writing, this is my game.

Try as you may, but your effort is moot,

For in my cups, the beer is Root.

Loved this, I think I just found my new drinking poem if I've ever had one. Defiantly adding to the favorites. Well written, easy to read, and to the point. Not to mention probably the best/only beer pong poem if I ever read one. The words are smothly written and quite awesome.

[That_Guy]

[Oh Wow, Lovely.]

[That_Guy]

While I don't condone drinking at that age, Jager is basically candy anyways heh

[Victoria Elizabeth]

[SuicidePact.]

I like it, it's cheeky and gives amazing imagery when I read every line. excellent (:

[That_Guy]

that works because I'm rather Cheeky myself

[JGIII]

So I picture this as a drinking song. It's best sung loudly and slightly off key in a smoky pub with dozens of lifelong friends you've just met that day. Kilts optional.

[Heather]

kilts should be mandatory

[That_Guy]

Kilts Mandatory, what's under the kilt... Optional

[JGIII]

wow.

[JGIII]

Well like Brave Smurf said, it's good to get a breeze going through the enchanted forest.

[That_Guy]

haha most definitely

[Priscilla Sayers]

And vodka soaks into my blood stream as read this clever Irish dedication with joy it brings me to the times where I stood in awe of the Irish and glad to have the blood of my blood within me to dare to say i have a bit of Irish to stake the claim!:) Bravo!

[Elizabeth]

LOVE! Lighthearted and fun... and very Irish :) You have all the elements: Blarney stone, Leprechauns, Pot of gold... Love that the last stanza is NEW St. Patty's day traditions. I dig it :)

[That_Guy]

thank you ;) I had fun writing it.

[Elizabeth]

It shows :)
