Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
March 17, 2015
 
Lucky Limericks
 
 
Knock! Knock!
500 miles to cast me shadow on her castle door-a
To court lassie pert-Peggy, “Shore and Begorrah!”
Disappointed! Learn that me maiden’s gone
Holiday in Dublin with her Irish lover Sean
’Tis okay. I’ll kiss her pretty younger sister Nora
 
 
Free bottle!?
Ambition! Drink the ole Irish whiskey sea dry
Of course, I’ll not make it, but I’ll college-try
I’d rather have a free bottle in front of me
Than W. C. Fields’ free frontal lobotomy
Probably had enough when I agree pigs can fly
 
 
Irish Kiss
A “Lucky clover”-find to embrace an Irish-Miss
Better fortune yet to a fetching lassie Irish-kiss
Potato whiskey toast: Bless the Emerald Isle!
Drinks on  the ‘Pot of Gold” Leprechaun-style
Celebrate yon green of good St. Patrick’s Irish-bliss
 
 
Irish “See”
There once was a man left ole McKendree
Who traveled afar cross a bright emerald sea
To avoid an errant lorry he jumped in a ditch
Then rescued was he by a wee Irish witch
Returning home smiling, he said,
Tis with her I would rather be!
 
 
Irish Dance
Fiddle for me, Bonnie Love, a rousing emotional Irish violin tune
Smile sweetly whilst soft take me hand; cherry lips I promise kiss soon
Sail deep blue-green sea before white billowed canvass afore time is done
Dare traverse I, gleaming sky-castle just west of bright high noon day sun
Fly unicorn fantasy south on wild-wind ore’ alabaster orb of pale full moon
 
“Thunder” George
(1968-2014)
Sweet heart-chord melody tender-touching Irish folk-song
Reminder true of a single human brotherhood we each belong
Experienced not the pleasure to greet George “Celtic” in me time
Yet, kindred-spirit caressed me heart-chord with clear loving chime
Away he sailed to live in me spirit-soul real men love-lament forlorn
 
 
English Row Boat “Oars”?
(An obfuscated confused colloquialism?)
“Let’s go boating!” the Yank to the Limey said
“I’ve got a rowboat, you bring two oars,” he plead
“A fun afternoon in the sun on the water, instead”
The English proudly partake proper tea and crumpets
Second choice they indulge in tasty, saucy hot strumpets
Percy brought “oars”: a big bombshell buxom blonde
and a frisky, fiery, foxy, Irish randy red head
