Leprechauns' Pranks
Poet: C. A. Lynch
On St. Patrick's day, the mischievous leprechaun did call,
With a twinkle in his eye and a trick for all.
He hides in the shadows, unseen by the eye,
But always leaves hints as to where he does lie.
He tiptoes through fields of clover so green,
Whispering secrets only he has seen.
Leprechauns play pranks on villagers, causing a stir,
Leaving them scratching their heads, wondering what may occur.
He switches their socks, mismatching the pairs,
And rearranges the furniture when nobody cares.
He paints rainbows on driveways with glittering hue,
Leaving the homeowners in awe of what he can do.

Land Of Shamrocks
Poet: C. A. Lynch
In a land of shamrocks, leprechauns danced,
Chasing pots of gold in a green-trousered prance.
They jigged and they jived, oh what a sight!
Underneath the glowing Irish moonlight.
A pint or two at old O'Reilly's bar,
Even found a four-leafed clover from afar.
On this St Patrick's Day, they were feeling quite gay,
Spreading cheeky luck in an Irish way!

On St. Patrick's Day
Poet: C. A. Lynch
On St. Patrick's Day, be aware,
Of the leprechaun, with magical flair.
He spins his tricks, so wild and grand,
Turning things topsy-turvy across the land.
The leprechaun's magic, oh, so absurd,
A broomstick becomes a talking bird.
A chair sprouts wheels and starts to zoom,
While a table turns into a singing mushroom.
Imagine the laughter that fills the air,
As people find themselves in a bewildering affair.
Giggles and chuckles rise everywhere,
As the leprechaun's mischief spreads with flair.

Irish Or Not
Poet: J. Hebert
On March 17th, it’s clear as can be,
We’re all a bit Irish—just wait and see!
Wearing our green, we shout with delight,
Pretending we’ve known Gaelic all night!
We dance a quick jig, though our steps are all wrong,
Cheer with the crowd and sing loud and strong!
For one lucky day, we all join the cheer,
Irish or not, we’ll celebrate here!

The Leprechaun Did Play
Poet: C. A. Lynch
On St. Patrick's Day, the leprechaun did play,
With magic that caused quite the disarray.
The ordinary changed, in a whimsical display,
With objects transformed in a peculiar way.
A pencil turned into a kangaroo with a bound,
Leaping through the room with excitement all around.
Shoes transformed into parrots, their voices profound,
Chattering phrases, their antics so renowned.
The bathtub shifted, becoming a bubble so grand,
Floating through the house, guided by a mysterious hand.
The car took flight, a hot air balloon it became,
Floating above, leaving a trail of dreams yet unclaimed.
Oh, the leprechaun's magic, wild and free,
Creating laughter and joy for all to see.
In a world transformed, a delightful spree,
On St. Patrick's Day, a spectacle that agrees.

Beware Of Pranks
Poet: C. A. Lynch
So, on this St. Patrick's Day, be aware,
Of the leprechaun, mischief, and flair,
Enjoy his pranks, both big and rare,
And let the laughter fill the air, without a care.
He sneaks into kitchens, quiet as can be,
Turning food green, oh, what a spree,
From green eggs to green milk, quite a glee,
Laughter erupts, as they sit down to see.
But that's not all, there's more to explore,
The leprechaun's pranks, leaving us wanting more,
He leaves shamrock footprints upon the floor,
A playful reminder, that he's never a bore.
The unsuspecting victims, they scratch their head,
Wondering just where the leprechaun will tread,
With laughter and giggles, they follow the thread,
In search of the leprechaun's mischief, so widespread.

Green Takes Over
Poet: J. Hebert
On March 17th, it's plain to see,
Green takes over - just let it be!
Shirts and hats, even socks so bright,
If you're not in green, you’ll get a light bite!
Even food turns an emerald hue,
Green drinks, green eggs, and a cupcake or two!
So wear it proud, don’t make a scene,
For one whole day—just love the green!
