I spent a dollar the other day,
On the luck of the Irish a scratch to pay;
And as it turned out I did not win,
Because the truth of the matter was really sin.
But god turned it around and blessed me you know,
Even though it was a devilish idea this flows;
I learnt how the luck of the Irish would go,
That I too may know the truth and grow.
It came into my mind like the voice of Patrick,
As if all I knew was just the hat trick;
And out came these words and all in flow,
The turning of the world for me heart to know.
And I tell you the truth I had a word with Paddy,
About the truth and the life and live with patty;
If I'd had half a brain I would have used me head,
And not jumped of that cliff and ended up dead.
But knowledge is an awesome thing you know,
Of how the love of a word in a rhyme will flow;
As it paddy was sitting in a bar from with a beer,
With and Irish stew which brought him a homesick tear.
And these words of his went down deep in one heart.
That the life of paddy was so really clever and smart;
Like those little green leprechauns out in the field,
The art of poetry and all it did yield.
Signed,
You're dear to me Paddy
