On St. Patrick's Day

A “Top of the Morning!”
Child, where is your green?
From my head to my feet,
I am green in between!
Got my leprechaun hat
And my shamrock balloon,
‘Tis an Irish parade
Passing by here at noon.
Aye, soda bread’s baking
Corned beef’s in the pot,
I’m dancing a jig —
My feet, they won’t stop!
A toast to good health —
Lift your green milk — SLAINTE!
Not Irish? No matter...
Ye’re Irish today!
