Green Beer and Shamrock Shots
by Maude Curtis
Green beer and shamrock shots.
Ah, that's what memories are made of.
We'll celebrate this day of fun
in the best way that we can think of.
So bring on the green food coloring,
and all the Shepards Pie we can eat,
for tonight we're goin' to celebrate
till we can no longer stand on our feet.
Tomorrow morning we'll pay the price
and ask "What the hell did I do"?
when we look at ourselves and wonder
"What's that green sticky stuff on my shoe"?
So bring on the green beer and shamrocks shots
and let the leprechauns beware,
cause someday we'll find your rainbows end
and hope there's still some gold there.
03/17/2009 Author's Note: Dedicated to all my drunken relatives on this our special day. Happy St. Patricks Day everyone.
