everybody drinks
green beer and such
because they want to enjoy the
luck of the irish
which maybe i am
my grandmother's mother's maiden name was murphy
[at least i think that's the right person might be her father's mother's]
Borrowed from the Irish and Scottish, Murphy is the Anglicized form of the GaelicMurchadh (sea warrior). Murphy is the most common surname in Ireland.
st. patrick supposedly expelled the snakes from ireland
which i always took as metaphoric
and he used the shamrock
to teach the holy trinity
so
i mean
i'm not about the christian thing
and this is a holiday i've never had any connection to
until that broadcast from the hotel with the murals of cats
that is literally what i think of when you say st. patrick's day
i would change it to
green day
in america
st. patrick's day is all tied up with leprechauns
which i also don't know much about
although i am intrigued by the representation
in american god's
like they were downgraded and downgraded
from something huge and frightening and powerful
to something tiny and merely tricky
but
st. patrick's day is kind of playful
in many places, i guess
but with the green theme pretty high up there
the stick that the recording is on
is green
and i'm going to try to get the st. patrick edition
also recorded
maybe on the same green stick
depends on how that works out
although i am kinda horrified
by the idea of dyeing the river green
it is a very cool way to celebrate green day
this one covers pinching
i pretty much never have worn green on st. patrick's day
mostly because i never wear green
now i have some green
so
i may wear green
although none of my green clothes are
strictly speaking clean
that may not stop me
we'll have to see how i feel in the morning
