________________________________________________
Title: St. Patrick's Day Author: Walt Mason [More Titles by Mason] Away with tears and sordid fears, no trouble will we borrow, but shed our woes like winter clothes--it's Patrick's day tomorrow. With clubs and rakes we'll chase the snakes, and send the toads a-flying, and we'll be seen with ribbons green, all other hues decrying. In grass-green duds we'll plant the spuds, where they can do no growing; with flat and sharp we'll play the harp, and keep the music going. Then let us yell, for all is well, the world's devoid of sorrow; the toads are snared, the snakes are scared, it's Patrick's day tomorrow. [The end] GO TO TOP OF SCREEN |
