Poems

Gilhooley had ordered a meeting
Everyone had to come round
St. Patricks day will be upon us
And a venue just has to be found

We have to find somewhere authentic
Our normal old pub just won't do
We can't celebrate with the punters
Where the beer isn't green, it's dyed blue

Gilhooley awaited suggestions
It had to be somewhere close by
There were all sorts of names on the table
So they decided to give them a try

It needed to be "somewhat old Irish"
with no dee jay, and a folky type band
they had to have red headed women
And a barman, with drinks poured and at hand

The first place they went was McKenna's
It seemed like a great place at first
but the service was slower than treacle
and a man would just die here of thirst

They found one that looked rather Irish
It was known as the new *** of gold
it had a rainbow outside on the awning
this should have been a warning fortold

the next one they tried was a classic
The green and gold tavern....a hit
but, it was booked on the day for a party
and this didn't please them one bit

they finally found one to their liking
full of guineess and pretty colleens
a punjabi bar by the  name of  ben doury's
where everything was curried and green

it was a party that no one remembered
that meant that it must have been good
nobody went to the jailhouse
even though three or four of them should

The beer and the curry were epic
the singing was like nothing we'd heard
a sitar and cymbal based trio
played so loud that nothing was heard

Gilhooley said next year we have to
come back here and do it again
It was the best St. Patty's ever
most of them passed out by ten

The next time you go out to party
call Ben Doury, the place is  spot on
the food and the beer are one colour
with a Punjabi Mumbai Leprachaun
C’mon let’s celebrate st patricks. Day
The day we dress in green and drink Guinness
We also do some Irish dancing
Party all day long
C’mon let’s celebrate st patricks day
Where the kids go out and play play play
Put green icing on a doughnut
Dress up as a lepricorn
Looking like a famous Patrick
Like in dublins fair city
Every girl are pretty
I first put my eyes on sweet molly Malone
And the lepricorns are saying
Dress him in stone
Go to your balcony
Grab your garden gnome
And paint it the colour you will want to have
Garden gnomes have beards all dressed in white
Or occasionally with rubber thongs
They can carry a *** of gold
To put under the rainbow
And if you open it the gold will be yours
Sometimes it is hard
To look at a gnome
Because they look like your great great grandfather
He is married to an Irish settler
Who cooks dinner for the humble tribe
One man was singing sea shanty’s to make us happy
And songs that sound like Aussie rules themes
Happy happy happy saint patricks day
Dress in green, pants, shirt, and hat
Look like a lepricorn
On this hap hap happy saint patricks day
Oh yeah the Irish
