IRELAND MAN

(Note: sounds better when read in an fake Irish accent)

‘Top-O-The-Morning’

And Ireland man wakes up

To the sound of ‘Potato-Potato’

In his head

The lost coursework and vague lesson plans

Angry potato farmers

And Guinness drinkers drifting off to sleep

The many leprechauns and Pots 'o' Gold

In the north

Of the small emerald island

He always comes back

mmmm... Guinness®

Comes back to beer

Of a deep brown colour,

To four-leaf clovers,

To dull ‘Noh! Dohn’t’;

Muffling Muffling

The grapes in his coffee wave,

Mr Teasey heaves himself

(At the taste of his coffee...)

Another Irish Day
