Whether you're Irish or not, chances are you've preeminent St. Patrick's Day one way or another. And why not? St. Patrick's Day is pure fun. Green clothes. Green food. Green beer. (Green under the gills.) And what good way to enhance this celebration than with funny Irish poems?
Somehow, there are more symbols of Ireland than there are of other European countries, and these symbols make for great funny Irish poems. France has the Eiffel Tower, and maybe a beret; Germany has the pointy Wwi helmet; and England has those bushy beefeater hats and Big Ben. But Ireland, Ireland has a treasure trove of symbols, all perfect for funny Irish poems.
Amazing Halloween Costumes
Leprechauns. Consider the legendary leprechaun. Think "Lucky Charms" to get the right image. Leprechauns are not so much about luck as about the fantasy of instant wealth. Leprechauns, two-foot-high cobblers (shoemakers), are cranky old fairy-men rumored to each own a "pot of gold." These tricky little guys have to give up their gold so long as you can keep them in your sights. But if you are tricked into seeing away, the leprechaun vanishes.
Blarney. And talk about Blarney! Blarney is the Irish gift of persuasive gab. The best way to get it, agreeing to legend and lore, is with a kiss of the Blarney Stone. The Blarney stone is set in the base of the Blarney Castle, in Blarney, Ireland. Many of us don't trip so far for this gift of gab and instead buy a bottle of it at the angle market.
Shamrocks. What would St. Patrick's Day be without a shamrock? You might think that a shamrock must have four leaves, but you'd be mistaken. While many habitancy do believe that a four-leaf clover is particularly lucky, the lawful shamrock is the first-rate three-leaf variety. St. Patrick himself used the three-leaf shamrock to clarify the trinity, somewhere while the 400s Ad, while a missionary in what is now Northern Ireland. You have to wonder if he did his explaining at the pub, or if he had any inkling of the holiday that would evolve in his name.
Limericks. If you're mental funny Irish poems, you're probably mental limericks. But the truth is that the limerick form was first made favorite in England because of the preeminent nonsense-writer, Edward Lear. However, a good funny Irish poem can all the time be written as a limerick or in any poetic form.
Fun. The most foremost element of a secular celebration of St. Patrick's Day is fun! (Yes, many Irish do attend church for this holiday. Really.) in expanding to the parties, the food, the friends and the green beer, it's good to also include the pure free fun of funny Irish poems.
Happy St. Paddy's Day to you!
