Leprechaun and pot of gold cartoon

 

Haiku Saint Paddy’s Day

On Saint Paddy’s Day

Leprechauns hide pots of gold

At the rainbow’s end

 

 

Follow rainbow’s trail

There you’ll find those twisty trees

And black pots full of gold

 

 

Trickster games ahead

Calling all Leprechauns

Time for hide and seek

 

 

Ha ha hee hee ho

Whimsically Leprechauns

Join in trickster game

 

 

Magic fills the air

Locals running to and fro

Rainbow treasure hunt

 

 

Leprechaun magic

Sprinkle sleeping dust on heads

Become sleeping guards

 

 

Hunters fast asleep

Wake on next Saint Paddy’s Day

Year lost in magic

 

 

Try to beat the odds

Do beware, but try again

Leprechauns giggle

 

 

Ha ha hee hee ho ho

Pots are safe another year

Luck of the Irish
