Shamrocks symbolize the
Holy Trinity the Irish say.
Leprechauns are mischievous
solitary fairies I am told.
At the rainbow’s end shines
a pot of gold.
I’ve got Irish blood in me
from my maternal side—
A Horan Irish woman married
a Deichmann Germanic man.
Paternally, Grandpa, Hajiannis,
was from Greece;
Grandma, Prokes, was of Bohemian
decent.
Me, I’m a Heinz 57, so they say,
born right here in the good ole USA,
a mongrel to be sure,
or if you prefer, a condiment best suited
for ham and eggs.
Speaking of which,
I like mine over easy, if you please.
