St. Patrick's Day
by Belinda Roddie
St. Patrick's Day was quieter this year
for me and my fiancée. We were fine
with that and didn't drown in Irish cheer
as much as we had done the other times.
One Patrick's Day, we had a complete meal
of corned beef and potatoes, and the beer
and cider overflowed. We danced with zeal
to Celtic music, laughing beneath clear
and cloudless skies. This night, however, we
had conversation over a modest
dinner of spaghetti, all topped with brie
(Though we made sure to add some extra zest
to our food), and the booze and whiskey still
was drunk. So sláinte to all, with good will!
