Memories in Emerald Isle
Virginia Salter

Faith and begora!
Isn’t everyone Irish
and green
on March seventeen?!

Well, everyone but the Scots,
surely
who argue over
whose whiskey is the better
and sit in awe
of green beer
shed from there to here
smiling up
from ear to ear
imbibers
as they jeer.

Jigs
spin in rhythm’s dance
recalling what a chance
stepping into the street
might bring.

Shamrocks
highlight the springtime hue
as we celebrate anew
a lover of
all life
who brought
more souls to Christ
than many heretofore.

(oops! I'm part Scotch...no not the whiskey, but think I may be mostly Swiss or Deutsch)

heh-heh I'd probably be good on steak

Heinz 57 don't ya know

hehehe like this

Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning.
