Paddy's Wheel
~~~
The wheel goes round
the pinter clacks
anticipation ... screams and laughs
Where it stops tells who it limes
shooters wait and tension climbs
The wheel ticks slow
the pinter chokes
dead between the lucky spokes
Paddy's blue rolls off the chant
green team bends the elbows back
Shooters gone ... a Guinness chase
another green tips out the race
The pinter whirs
the laughter soars
the wheel spins fast while tender pours
Tobacco wafts and music sails
while dancers step to Ireland's tales

Raising roofs
with Irish laughter
from those that are and those come after
~

Sure and this poem is as Irish as Paddy's Wheel. Tis wonderful!
