March 17

The day is here, the booze is ready
Checked the nerves my hands are steady
In all the pubs the beer is green
The only day that's ever seen

St Patrick’s day come once a year
Drives Ireland daft or so I hear
A patron Saint who drove out snakes
Most went to Australia for heavens sake

Back to today the seventeenth
The month is March, it’s always been
Been the day the world goes daft
Tots of whiskey and pints of draft

Wishing you all a lovely day
Not much more that I can say
So raise you glass and give a cheer
Last toast to Paddy, --- until next year

Artie
