St. Patrick's Day will be with us on 17th March, so here is a poem to celebrate the day.
It’s the wearing of the green day
It’s the
wearing of the green day
The
wearing of the green!
For all
around this Emerald Isle
The
shamrock can be seen!
It’s the
wearing of the green day
The day
we celebrate
St
Patrick and his message
On this
most important date.
It’s the
wearing of the green day
In this
land of hills and lakes
Where St
Patrick had the wisdom
To
banish all the snakes.
It’s the
wearing of the green day
A time
to dance and sing
For the
sound of Irish music
Brings a
welcome touch to Spring.
It’s the
wearing of the green day
When we
remember well
The
shamrock and its three leaves
And the
story they can tell.
It’s the
wearing of the green day
So
follow the parades
We’ll
beat the drums and play the pipes
Until
the daylight fades.
