It's hard to believe St Patrick's Day is over! It's even harder to recover but that's another story. Somehow or other we got ourselves a little out of sync, so apologies to all if our poem this week is a few days late, still that doesn't make it any less enjoyable.
Sprig of Shamrock
Just a sprig of Shamrock
It means so very much
The Faith that Patrick taught through it
And the green we love so much.
We wear it with great pride and joy
On this St Patrick's Day.
To all our loved ones here and far away.
This is what we have to say:
"Pin on your Sprig of Shamrock,
Hold your head up high.
Think of that old saying
And you will surely smile
Don't forget to wet it
At the nearest pub you go
But stop before you drown it
Or you won't see Shamrock any more."
