Not just another "green thumb" - my whole body has turned green! |
I am not - just another "green thumb"!
I have, at times, been "green with envy" And after too much corned beef and cabbage - Just green! Ah, St. Patrick's Day! I so adore the wee folk; The music that swells the soul! The spirit of life that continues To thrive! Let me tell you a tale (As all Irish folk do..) Of the day I turned green (It could happen to you!) Out for a walk in the woods, A strange sight did I see! A little green man Who was beckoning me. He didn't speak out But with a wink and a smile He led me on For at least a good mile.. To the edge of the wood Where a musical harp Played as we stood! Dancing around And so full of glee - Were many wee folk A-smilin' at me! The little green man Looked me right in the eye And sprinkled fairy dust (I didn't ask why!) But my heart took a leap I started to sing And began to dance In the Leprechaun ring! When the dance was over I was escorted back Then they all disappeared And left not a track! Back in my garden I was startled to see That the "green thumb" Was just part of me - Green were my hands, My arms and my face; Why, I was green All over the place! Now you may not believe But should you go out See a little green man You'd better watch out! They may turn you green But deep in your heart The music and dance Will play a big part - And every year On St. Patrick's Day You'll remember How you got this way! 'Tis not a bad thing I'm sure you'll agree The song in your heart Will set you free! HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY! |
