A Few Green Beers On This St Patrick's Day Poem by Francis Duggan

Since i was born and raised in Ireland from here in miles far away
Perhaps i should have a few green beers on this St Patrick's day
In memory of the long gone days of the what used to be
To say i am not Irish would fool no one but me
In towns, villages and cities all over Ireland today people celebrate
They will drink, dance and make merry and party on till late
For Patrick's Day in Ireland it comes but once a year
Though weatherwise the weather there is seldom dry and clear
And St Patrick's Day parades in Ireland often held in the rain
But of poor and broken weather the Irish never do complain
Today for to celebrate i need not walk that far
I will have a few green beers in the local public bar
And the fiddler on his fiddle Irish tunes will play
And the singer will sing songs of Ireland far away
