The Wish

I caught a little leprechaun,
quite wise and very old and he said to me, 
"You have one wish,
would you like my pot of gold?"

"No thank you," was my quick reply,
"But how about another...
A gift that's truly precious
and esteemed above all others?"

He offered then some emeralds,
rubies, sapphires, pearls
and a host of other treasures
that would make your senses whirl!

As I rejected all his list
his bright eyes flashed with fire
and, angrily, he said to me:
"What is it you desire?"

I said:

"A rainbow's far more beautiful
than its' supposed treasure
and the 'rainbow' that I'm wishing for
is priceless beyond measure.

"I'd like to have the dearest friends
a person ever had 
to share in all the good times 
and help me through the bad...

"To laugh and sing and joke with,
love and appreciate
as we live life's greatest adventure
that would certainly be great!"

"Oh, now I know you're daft!" he said
as he ran off with his pot...
"to waste your wish on something
you have already got!"

Full O' Smiles St. Patrick's Day ! Wish your friends/ family/ near and dear ones a very happy St. Patrick's Day with this cute ecard.

While walking along the seafront this morning and seeing all the crowds heading into town for the St. Patrick`s Day Parade I started thinking about absent friends.
This is just a short note to let you know that people in Ireland are thinking about you-all on this special day.Keep well(Frank).

Was listening to Bing Crosby's 'Big Parade on St. Patrick's Day' (in New York) on RTE 1 yesterday and while it's a bit cringeworthy (lots of macushlas and begorra's) I did think of you T...

Happy St. Patricks day to you guys.

Happy Paddy's Day lads for Monday!

Watched Danial O Donnell last night on the TV simply as I could not take my eyes off him! What kind of gobsh*te is he at all... for feck sake he had a lovely cream suit on him like a pair of curtains.  Well he was singing some song about clair and your one looked like she was from Ballymun.... Show band music that I remember from Mullinavat back in the day!!!! pure tripe...

Have a lovely weekend lads and enjoy Paddy's day.

Sorry T - you cant have him - did you not know he is now married, living half the time in Donegal, the other half in Tenerife.

Have a lovely St. Pats Weekend - everything green, even your "knicks". Verona

Ok tell me what is going on in Ireland! They will not let the Shamrock club have mass or the parade on Paddy's Day! Is all going ahead in Ireland as here they are not letting it happen due to Holy Week!!!!! Just wondering about the Catholic week there.....

Nothing of note happening here. There will be plenty of green in the pubs tonight no doubt but Monday will be just another day. Enjoy yourselves everyone. Monarch thanks for the thoughts - lovely
