~~~ Sunlight sweeps above the dale while shades of heather lift their veil Then gentle mist of morning swirls enhancing dawn with nature's pearls ~ Songbird's flight encircles glen to spot late crawler's search for den Yet ... not all that dwells in understory hides this day ... this day's their glory ~ The songbirds flee ... the piper grins "Far Darrig O'Malice yer at it again" The silence broke the wildwoods rustle From near and far the wee ones hustle ~ The songs roll out the barrels too the leprechauns abandon shoe They all break out one piece of gold To waste before their play grows cold ~ They barter sheep while lifting hogs They saddle ... ride the farmer's dogs And all the while they laugh and shout they never spill their mugs of stout ~ The Cluricauns with stouter trumpet Descend the town Subdue the strumpet Spend their purse to chase romance The quean much slicker ... steals their pants ~ Within the glen with dusk's approach the smoke gets thick as suppers roast The music swirls the echoes sail The dancers chant an Irish tale ~ An those with naked butts are taught They stop ... it gives the bugs a shot Far Darrigs crawl beneath the kegs they pop the corks and fill their legs ~ St. Patrick's blessed another year The sound of snoring now all you hear ~~~ |

Thanks for the uplifting verses of St. Patrick's Day Rex. ~*~ Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.--James Joyce ~*~ |

Made me remember Brigadoon, Rex. And thank you for that. |

Actually I was able to watch Brigadoon last night... had forgotten just how much of a smile it brings along with the involuntary toe tapping |
