Four pints of Guinness
Sunk in a drop,
A long shuffle home
From hill top to dale,
Past the old man's shop.

Four hours hung over,
Drooping in the slop,
A quite moment of solace
Scraped up to toilet brew
In the old man's shop.

Four days to recover
Paddy's cries don't stop,
A laughter crowing 
Loud to fields beyond
The old man's shop.

Today is St. Patrick’s Day.
