I wish you all the best!


It was in Ireland they say St. Patrick drove the serpent away to free the Emerald Isle. While the historians debate if there ever were any snakes when the stories about venom and guile.

Spewed by the snake who was so filled with hate cast out of his mouth as a flood. But the Earth helped them out by opening her mouth from the ground came the cry of the blood.

So Ireland was freed from the snakes lustful greed banished forever to sea. Yet the snake had a plan to find a new land perhaps in the land of the free.

He's quite easy to spot he's not cold he's not hot and his message won't ever change. It's the Woman he despises and her Child that rises and so we call on St. Patrick again.

Now this time the beast has come as a thief, spoke like a dragon with two horns like a lamb. The first wound was healed now he's coming to steal the very soul of a man.

So to St. Paddy I say this is your day and that we need your help once more. To chase out the snake all the way too the lake and this time we'll all close the door.

"May the things I know be limited only by my imagination"

Thank You so much John!

As you will see as time goes on it is the Woman who I consider my helper and if I show any talent I give all the credit to Her.

The Drum is still out there I just have it closed down for awhile as there are some people who hate the message I bring.

I have more words to share with all of you and plan on visiting the Open forum often as I enjoy reading all of what and how you say your words too!

Have a nice day and a very Happy St. Patricks Day!!! I raise my glass to you,
Cheers!
