St. Patrick's Day Guinness Limerick

'Tis sure we'll be wearing the green,
When the calendar says March seventeen,
We'll be happy when in us,
Are pints of black Guinness,
Try some, you'll know what we mean.
                      

Irish Pig Limerick for St. Patrick's Day

Through the fog, I saw a fat pig
Hop on the end of a twig,
The scene was a blur,
So I'm not really sure,
But I thing he was dancing a jig!

The Real True Story of St. Patrick in Limerick Verse

poems for st. patricks day

Nothing but limericks I write
No subject’s too big or too trite
So here’s a true story
That isn’t too gory
About a young lad’s dreadful plight

In Scotland, did young Patrick dwell
His life was comfy and swell
Irish brigands did float
To his home in a boat
And took him to Ireland to sell

In Ireland, Pat was a slave
And he did his best to behave
He herded the swine
Till given a sign
And left without even a wave

To home, as fast as he could
He thought, was proper and good
But he had a vision
And made a decision –
Return to Ireland he would

For Patrick, this wasn’t a game
So first, a priest he became
He returned to the isle
With nary a smile
And focused on spreading Christ’s name

There were many bad serpents about
But Patrick had never a doubt
With force he did pray
Each and every day
And the devils and snakes he cast out

So party, green beer and all
But please do your best to recall
That Patrick’s the reason
For this happy season
As you finish your pub-to-pub crawl

For Saint Patrick, Mike wears a cravat,
Also proves for his saint he stands pat;
For you see at a glance,
At the base of his pants,
Where he wears on each foot a green spat.

There once was a leprechaun named Finn
He had not a hair on his chin
But up on his head
His hair was all red
And he had the orneriest grin!

Saint Patrick, He Is A Great One (A Limerick)

That Patrick, he is a great one,
His staff, it's surely a straight one,
He drives out the snakes,
While good Christians he makes,
Of Ireland, he is the patron.

At St. Patrick's Ball - Vintage Limerick


At St. Patrick's Ball young McCarrell
Once appeared in orange apparel;
The costume was tasty,
But exit was hasty;
He had to walk home in a barrel.

He sat on my neighbor's front lawn
But on March seventeen

Like magic, he ran and was gone!

Build Your Own St. Patrick Limerick! DIY

So what else did St. Patrick do,
Besides what you already knew?
He walked many a mile
On the Emerald Isle
pick one
Tending his flock as it grew.
or
With an aim that was straight and true.
or
Thanking God for the beautiful view.

A green-frosted shamrock cake
