Drabble by Kevin Fagan for March 17, 2015

But then, neither was St Patrick. For the Snakéd Truth see:http://howlandbolton.com/essays/read_more.php?sid=241

I have no Irish in my family line either but I enjoy myself every St. Paddy’s Day!

I’m Irish, and lay low on 3/17. Too many crazies out there.

That is a massive computer screen.

Why do you need to be Irish to go to an Irish pub and get drunk listening to live music with all your friends?

What is that? A 47" Computer monitor? Ralph must be doing pretty well…

As a friend who was known to enjoy a beer or three said dismissively: “St, Patrick’s Day is for amateurs.”

A little late to tell him to celebrate Fat Tuesday.

No worries, everybody’s Irish today! Enjoy while you can!!

St. Patrick was an Orangeman.

To think that Billy Joel said honesty was a lonely word….

…which, by the way, was last week!

He should know better than to disturb somebody while they do their NCAA brackets.

If you had the luck of the irishYou’d be sorry and wish you were deadYou should have the luck of the irishAnd you’d wish you was english instead!

A thousand years of torture and hungerDrove the people away from their landA land full of beauty and wonderWas raped by the british brigands! Godd@mn! Godd@mn!

If you could keep voices like flowersThere’d be shamrock all over the worldIf you could drink dreams like irish streamsThen the world would be high as the mountain of morn

In the pool they told us the storyHow the english divided the landOf the pain, the death and the gloryAnd the poets of auld eireland

If we could make chains with the morning dewThe world would be like galway bayLet’s walk over rainbows like leprechaunsThe world would be one big blarney stone

Why the hell are the english there anyway?As they kill with God on their sideBlame it all on the kids the iraAs the b@stards commit genocide! Aye! Aye! Genocide!

If you had the luck of the irishYou’d be sorry and wish you was deadYou should have the luck of the irishAnd you’d wish you was english instead!Yes you’d wish you was english instead!

It would be unkind not to warn you dear friends, never call an Irishman ‘paddy’. It’s a slur, like calling a black man the ‘n’ word.

dude ralph is too good for her

You beat me to it, J-Puz.

folklegendredux: He did most of his ministry in what is now Ulster. Most people get the joke.

Way to build him up and be a supportive wife. NOT!
