Little Green Laughter
~~~

Sunshine sweeps
above the dale
while shades of heather
lift their veil
Then gentle mist
of morning
swirls
enhancing dawn
with nature's pearls
~
See songbird's flight
encircle glen
to spot
late crawlers
in search of den
But ...
not all that dwells
in understory
hides this day ... this day's
their glory
~
The songbirds flee the piper's grin
"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
Decent the town
Subdued
the strumpet
Spent their purse
to chase romance
The quean
much slicker ...
she stole
their pants
~
Within the glen
with dusk's approach
the smoke is thick
as suppers roast
The music swirls
the echoes sail
The dancers chant
an Irish tale
~
An those with naked butts
were taught
They stop ... it gives
the bugs a shot
Far Darrigs
crawled
beneath the kegs
they popped the corks
and filled their legs
~
St. Patrick blessed
another year
The sound of snoring
is all you hear
~~~

Seems to me some history
crept into this story's tale
by way of want, by way of tiddle
seems to me, you've left a riddle...

perhaps it is just the music then
that plays its song to me
a bit of time travel I've seen
there, among the snoring green...

What a lovely picture you have painted of the little green people Rex. I love the story and the images it brought to mind.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?
