What is but age

Leprechaun — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 15:18:24 +0000

What is but age? Something to count?
Some people fight it as if climbing the mount.
I choose life with dignity and grace
And offer a drink to all in this place!

Here’s to Eileen O’Hara

Here’s to Eileen O’Hara
For her life held no terror
Born a virgin
Died a virgin
No runs, no hits, no errors

Slide down the banister of life

As you slide down the banister of life, may the splinters never point in the wrong direction!

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!

Wishing you a rainbow

Leprechaun — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 13:34:47 +0000

Wishing you a rainbow
For sunlight after showers—
Miles and miles of Irish smiles
For golden happy hours—
Shamrocks at your doorway
For luck and laughter too,
And a host of friends that never ends
Each day your whole life through!

May you live a long life

Leprechaun — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 01:32:09 +0000

May you live a long life
Full of gladness and health,
With a pocket full of gold
As the least of you wealth.
May the dreams you hold dearest,
Be those which come true,
The kindness you spread,
Keep returning to you.

May you have all the happiness

Leprechaun — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 09:09:22 +0000

May you have all the happiness
and luck that life can hold—
And at the end of all your rainbows
may you find a pot of gold.

May the doctor never earn a pound out of you

May the doctor never earn a pound out of you

My comment:
That’s better than wishing a long life, because we are talking about the quality of life here. And being perfectly healthy is a key to a good life.

Here’s to a long life and a merry one

Here’s to a long life and a merry one.
A quick death and an easy one.
A pretty girl and an honest one.
A cold pint– and another one!

My comment:
One life, one death, one pretty girl and lots of cold beer.
