Down in the valley where shamrocks grow,
theres a wee little man, or so I'm told.
May be irish folk lore of long ago,
they say if you can catch him, you keep his gold.

He's a short little fella with hair of red,
And a big green hat upon his head,
is it legend? or is it true?
That be the question I pose to you.

Just follow the prism to rainbows end,
you may find this lad foe, or friend.
Tis true that I warn yah, you ought be quick,
there is no end to a Leprachauns tricks.

Sure as yah have him within your grasp,
poof, he's gone, and got the last laugh!
so if yah go chasin rainbows take my advice,
you wont get his gold you better think twice!

Why HIM give up his gold? he rather be dead,
So yah best go chasin fairies instead!!!

Happy Soon to be St.Paddy's day to all!!
love Lia.

Great job Lia...and a Happy to you also. Kinda miss my kids being grown because of the "extra" fun gone by the wayside on St Paddy's day. We really got into it with overturned furniture and all the trimmings...really had them going...(they both say their kids are in for a lot and don't know it yet!
