ST. PADDY'S PUB Twas the day of st. patrick and all through the bars, people were playing folk songs on guitars. Corned beef and cabbage filled up every belly resulting in farts that were pretty darn smelly! Most folks dressed in green, and those who did not were punished with pinches because they forgot. I, with my "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" green pin, was holding my face so my head wouldn't spin... When out in the lot there arose such a clatter, I slid off my stool to se what was the matter. And what to my blurry, red eyes could be seen? But a miniature man who was dressed all in green. His eyes were like emeralds! His hair blazing red! He'd grant all my wishes! (well, that's what he said.) I tried hard to focus, but soon there were four... so I spun right around and I went back in the door. That's when I exclaimed, as I turned in my keeys, "If I'm seeing those, then I shouldn't use these!" celebrate safely this st. patrick's day!
