St Patrick's Day Comments

I think there must be a bit of Ireland in most people! I have no idea if I have a blood link to the Emerald Isle but my heart responds to its cheerfulness, its bittersweetness, its absolutely stunning Thoroughbred horses :) Let's all sing it together, some of us louder than others. I love this poem, Tom. I think it reveals that spirit of revelry and comradery and good will in your heart!
I have a slight Irish connexion, apart from my son-in-law who comes from Wexford on Ireland's east coast. My maternal grandfather came from Southern Ireland, about thirty miles north of Wexford. So maybe I have a little of that Irish Spirit. Of course the USA has a strong Irish presence. I love Irish music and their quirky sense of humour.
The spirit of Ireland shines in your verse Tom....a hearty celebration indeed.
It was written partly for my son-in-law who is Irish and in memory of some very brave Irish American firefighters who gave their lives in 9/11. God bless the Emerald Isle.
As long as you celebrated! Hope you had a lovely St Patrick's day!
Singing a long in full voice here Tom good job the neighbours can't hear me.....lol....nice one.
You haven't heard me sing and you wouldn't want to! I was banned from the Music Room at School!

I do feel a little bit relative to Irish people since I read Robert Grave's conjecture that the mileteans [in Asia Minor] at 1400 b.datum colonized Irland.His arguments and comments to be found in his The greek myths, in penguin edition too..
