TURNING GREEN

The wearing of the green
And the drinking of green beer
Even a river dyed to green
To signify this day is here.

Looking for the Blarney Stone
To give it a big kiss
But watch it for those Blarney Stones
They sometimes are, amiss!

The search for a four leaf clover
To bring us that Irish luck
And the swing of a shellaly
With which, you could be struck.

Started out as religious
Then it came to the USA
Now, it's a day to party
In the true American way.

And no matter what your history
It seems, at least for awhile
Everybody turns to Irish
Though not all, do it with style.

But, most will have a good time
Some, will rue the day they were born
As they may actually turn green
When they awaken the next morn.

Mankind's greatest accomplishment is not the revolution of technology, it is the evolution of creativity.

... no doubt this happens!

May it bring joy to many.

Enjoyed your poem.
