 March seventeen comes our way to celebrate St Patrick's Day in hotels and pubs and rubbitty dubs the Irish have something to say In Ireland religion is strong Who can say who is right, who is wrong in orange or green they vie to be seen but wind up by joining in song Erin's Isle a place of full mist a land where the Blarney is kissed and all men have seen the Leprecauns' dream yet decisions are made by the fist Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life.

Munda, I know and I've propably got it wrong. Metre is the bane of my life and I think it's a pronounciation thing I've only just figured out the iambic pentametre.  Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

Munda, Do you think I maybe need some Dutch courage before facing Nan. Perhaps you could stand in front of me and distract her.  Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

ROFL! Ok, I'll make you a deal... I'll help you with your meter and we'll face Nan together... I fear I have no idea how to distract her other than by "perfect"meter. |
