I am not Irish, but who has to be A feisty Irish lass or Irish lad To cuddle up to the gay revelry To honor the beloved great St. Pat A patron highly revered in many a land Apostle tried who traveled far and wide, Who led barbaric clans to understand The Christian message and its shining light. A Briton under Roman rule, Saint Pat Ascetic, wise, resourceful, versatile Did make his savage congregations glad And told them stories of the Emerald Isle. But Oh good Irish - you are not alone On whom Saint Patrick’s beacon light did shine He ministered to folks along the Rhone The Danube, Sein, the Isaar and the Rhine. To teach about the Holy Trinity He showed the clover leaf to heathen gangs Taught the wild tribes of Teuton Germany To render harmless deadly serpents fangs. Legenda Aurea says he went to Prague But then returned to Broughton-Under-Blean, And held at bay the pestilence and plague, For draught there had wiped out the luscious Green Our culture’s light bulb would be very dim- Barbaric rule would have the upper hand, Stark ignorance would shroud us dull and grim Had he not spread his word in foreign land. Dance Ring-Around-The Rosie,-but take care Too well discern the honest obeisance Paid to the Saint by folks from Outre-Mer Who are all set to join your merry dance But knowing your good will they trust and say: “Hurray rejoice in dear Saint Patrick‘s Day“!..

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
