Saint Patrick’s Feast Day has come
today, you
see, let’s find the lucky clovers, four-
leafed
searching until we find Leprechauns crew
tricking, and taking their treasure
gold-leafed
we will pick up shamrocks, and observe
them
wearing all green so we don’t get
pinched by
others, practicing the rituals gem
fantastic festive fun for all ages
revering, remembering, Saint Patrick
his contributions to Catholicism
being enslaved, gaining freedom, hat trick
services, successes, to Ireland
converting most Druids to Catholicism
good luck, salvation, isms, and prisms
There’s a green Isle, set in the sea
here’s to Saint Patrick who blessed it
and to Nature’s billows wild and free
where centuries have caressed it
Shamrocks

Saint Patrick’s Feast Day, festivals
Irish
Last week on the street I saw
costumed children, adults, and animals
Green little men, might they be Leprechauns?
Children filled the streets
each holding bags and cauldrons
I heard them saying and looking for
Leprechauns, in order to obtain their gold, and treasures, good fortune, and wealth
I heard them saying they’re going to trick these Leprechauns and take their treasures to better their lives
I heard them saying to each other let’s find the four-leaf-clovers, so we may look them over for luck
I saw green-dyed everything
I saw them eating corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes
Strangest neighbors I have ever seen and I shook my head
O, maybe it was Saint Patrick’s Day, like I read

There was an Old Irish man sainted
by the Catholic Church, who was painted
as Ireland’s National patron saint
who met resistance, and eventually
prevailed quaintly
revering, Patrick, as their hero, acquainted.
