Little Green Laughter
~~~

Sunlight 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 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'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
Decend 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
