Parrot - Specially Coloured for St Patrick's Day
The Shamrock of Ireland
There's a dear little plant
that grows in our isle,
'Twas St.
Patrick himself
sure that set it;
And the sun on his labour
with
pleasure did smile,
And with dew from his eye
often wet it.
It
thrives through the bog,
through the brake,
through the mireland;
And he called it the dear
little shamrock of Ireland-
The sweet little
shamrock,
the dear little shamrock,
The sweet little, green little,
shamrock of Ireland!

Why Worry? Blessing for St Patrick's Day
In the end, there are only two things to worry about: either you are well or you are sick. When you're well, there is nothing to worry about. But if you're sick, then there are two things to worry about: either you get well or you will die. When you get well, there is nothing to worry about. But when you die, then there are two things to worry about: either you'll go to heaven or you'll go to hell. When you go to heaven, there is nothing to worry about. But when you go to hell, you'll be so damn busy shaking hands with friends, you won't have time to worry! SO WHY WORRY!?
