Last Line: Forget the good saint patrick / and see the snakes again
Subject(s): "drinks & Drinking;patrick, Saint (5th Century);toasts;


Saint Patrick was a gentleman,
Who through strategy and stealth,
Drove all the snakes from Ireland—
Here's a bumper to his health.
But not too many bumpers,
Lest we lose ourselves, and then
Forget the good Saint Patrick
And see the snakes again.
