That is a holiday celebrated by us Americans by drinking tons of beer and good Irish whiskey, eating green foods that are not normally colored green, and claiming direct Irish ancestry that usually doesn't exist.
In Ireland its celebrated in direct proportion, I have been told, to the number of American Tourists in the vicinity.
I was wondering what is something Irish we could do to commemorate our Irish Hatrack heritage.
I think Limerick's will do.
There once was a man from Hatrack Who thought he could never come back We once went away For almost one day But ran back to his needed Hat-Crack.

There once was a mutt named Piggy Who ran into my auntie's lit ciggy His black and white tail Left a gray smoky trail That was doused before flames got too biggy.

There was a man called Dan Raven Who thought Hatrack was his Haven But only four replied And in horror, he cried "Was my limerick really that craven?"

Off in that town known as Collagen There lived a young poster known as Imogen With lips as fleshy As the hips that were messy With the dribble of fat that'd been drawn from them?
*ooh.. that was a stretch*

For a complexion described as sallow One simply can look at fallow Whether jaundice is to blame Or something less tame His face is positively yellow!

No limerick could end in apology Miss Spellng, Miss Grammar, and Miss Apostrophe conspired to win a glance, wink, or grin In pursuit of a literary apogee

*Kiss me - I am a verifiable 25% Irish. AND I have my immigrant great-grandmother's rosary cross. How much more authentic can you get? *
Erin go braugh!
(Psst - just heard on NPR yesterday that the Irish decided to outdo us poor slobs in America and they celebrate St. Paddy for a week!)

There once was a student in my class Who's talking forced me to kick his a** I punched him in the eye And he started to cry At last he has stopped giving me sass
...If only the butt heads in my class were this easy to deal with. And if only this wouldn't get me fired, sued and arrested.

There once was a snake in the grass Who cried out "Alak" and "Alas" "If I but had feet It'd be such a treat To kick that old saint in the Mass."

There once was a cagey old nerd, With Internet habits absurd. Browsing Hatrack all day, With nothing to say, That lurker couldn't think of a word.
