ST. PATRICK'S DAY TOAST
Saint Patrick was a gentleman,
Who through strategy and stealth,
Drove all the snakes from Ireland,
Here’s a drinkee to his health.
But not too many drinkees
Lest you lose yourself and then
Forget the good Saint Patrick
And see all those snakes again. IRISH TOASTS May the saddest day of your future be no worse
Than the happiest day of your past.
May the roof above us never fall in.
And may the friends gathered below it never fall out.
May you live as long as you want,
and never want as long as you live.
May the grass grow long
on the road to hell for want of use. As you slide down the banisters of life
may the splinters never point the wrong way. May your troubles be as few and as far apart
as my Grandmothers teeth. May the Lord keep you in His hand
and never close His fist too tight. May your neighbors respect you,
Trouble neglect you, The angels protect you,
And heaven accept you. May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light,
may good luck pursue you each morning and night. In the New Year, may your right hand always
be stretched out in friendship and never in want. Here's that we may always have a clean shirt,
a clean conscience, and a guinea in our pocket. May I see you grey and combing your children's hair. May your doctor never earn a dollar out of you
and may your heart never give out.
May the ten toes of your feet steer you clear
of all misfortune, and before you're much older,
may you hear much better toasts than this.
