Happy St. Patrick's Day (tomorrow, I think)
It is advised that you please consult your local priest or other RC liturgical consultant for what is and what is not allowed around the celebration (certainly the timing) of the feast of St. Patrick, this year. Or you can screw that and just celebrate all that is Irish and as spring fresh as a shamrock.

I think it's pretty much canonical law that you have to start your St. Patrick's Day with a Yeats poem. I recommend "A Drunken Man's Praise of Sobriety":
Come swish around, my pretty punk,
And keep me dancing still
That I may stay a sober man
Although I drink my fill.
Sobriety is a jewel
That I do much adore;
And therefore keep me dancing
Though drunkards lie and snore.
O mind your feet, O mind your feet,
Keep dancing like a wave,
ANd under every dancer
A dead man in his grave.
No ups and downs, my pretty,
A mermaid, not a punk;
A drunkard is a dead man,
And all dead men are drunk.
Good one, Bert.
happy birthday Lad. sorry i missed saying it on the day
