The son of Finn Mac Cool
returned to Ireland after
an absence of 600 years.

On departure he was told
if he ever touched the soil
of Erin, he'd age his exile.

On arrival, he encountered
some leprechauns trying to
lift a stone to hide their gold.

Oisin, being as Hitchens
described us, Tediously Social,
leaned over to assist them.


ps.

The metaphorical moral of
this tale, is that we Irish can
never assimilate after leaving.
