Irish toast for Father and Mother

Leprechaun — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 17:03:11 +0000

For my mother who raised me at her breast.
And my father who raised me by the work of his bones.
I trust in the Son of God when they enter his presence,
That there will be a hundred thousand welcomes for them
In the heavens of peace.

About the Irish

Leprechaun — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 06:50:47 +0000

Be they kings, or poets, or farmers,
They’re a people of great worth,
They keep company with the angels,
And bring a bit of heaven here to earth

Here’s to beefsteak

Leprechaun — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 06:50:47 +0000

Here’s to beefsteak when you’re hungry,
Whiskey when you’re dry,
All the women you’ll ever want,
And heaven when you die.

Health and a long life to you

Leprechaun — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 06:47:08 +0000

Health and a long life to you.
Land without rent to you.
A child every year to you.
And if you can’t go to heaven,
May you at least die in Ireland.

Two things to worry about

Leprechaun — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 13:33:47 +0000

In life, there are only two things to worry about—
Either you are well or you are sick.
If you are well, there is nothing to worry about,

But if you are sick, there are only two things to worry about—
Either you will get well or you will die.
If you get well, there is nothing to worry about,

But if you die, there are only two things to worry about—
Either you will go to heaven or hell.
If you go to heaven, there is nothing to worry about.

And if you go to hell, you’ll be so busy shaking hands with all your friends
You won’t have time to worry!

May you have food and raiment

Leprechaun — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 05:49:51 +0000

May you have food and raiment,
a soft pillow for your head.
May you be forty years in heaven
before the devil knows you’re dead.

When we drink, we get drunk

Leprechaun — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 13:52:18 +0000

When we drink, we get drunk.
When we get drunk, we fall asleep.
When we fall asleep, we commit no sin.
When we commit no sin, we go to heaven.
So, let’s all get drunk, and go to heaven!

May neighbours respect you

Leprechaun — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 05:19:01 +0000

May neighbours respect you,
Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And heaven accept you.

May God grant you many years to live

Leprechaun — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 01:07:58 +0000

May God grant you many years to live, for sure he must be knowing, the earth has angels all too few and heaven is overflowing…

If you have a roving eye, it’s no use having the other one fixed on Heaven
