I think I may finally have this anapestic metre licked, just in time for St Pat's day for you. I tried to change it at the workshop but it's been too long since the original, so you lucky people will be inflicted.

March seventeen soon comes our way
to celebrate our St Patrick's Day
in hotels and pubs
and rubbitty dubs
the bold Irish have something to say

In Ireland religion is strongest
Who can say who is right, who is wrongest
in orange or green
they vie to be seen
but wind up by sparring through songfest

Green Erin's Isle a place of full mist
a bright 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. Patty Hansen.

The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges.
