Happy St. Patrick's Day

I grew up in a small 

Irish community in the 

mountains of Pennsylvania.

I don't remember the 

first time I ever heard

this but I heard my Father say

it many, many times over the years.

For all of you that have never

heard it- I think it just might

give you a laugh-

Ready to smile?

Did you ever walk into an

Irishman's shanty

where money is scarce and whiskey a'plenty?

A three legged stool with a table to match

A door on the shanty without any latch.

Walk into the entry

you're up to your knees,

Walk into the parlor 

you're covered with fleas,

Walk into the pantry

and look at the pies

and see the green maggots

roll up their red eyes.

And with THAT happy thought I will leave you.

You get a five point bonus if you 

can find the maggot....lol

Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Remember- If you are lucky enough to be Irish

you are lucky enough!

I. Am. Lucky. Enough.
