Darke County Senior Scribes...
St. Patrick’s Day... Irish Cream
By Lois Wilson
From Darke County’s Senior Scribes Poet Laureate, a poetic missive
about an Irish tradition... Irish Cream. Lois is a published author who
plays poetically with everything from politics and the weather to our
cherished holidays, often with wit and humor. Word has it she’s working
on a new book... we’ll let you know when it becomes reality.
MIXED DRINK
Irish farmer Sean O’Shea
Was seen in town every day.
He sipped from a flask,
And I’d often ask,
“What are you drinking today?”
His eyes seemed brightly agleam;
His mouth would soon start to beam.
Old O’Shea was sly;
He’d always reply,
“Me favorite—Irish cream!”
Curious I asked him how
His Irish Cream packed no pow.
He laughed, “Young fellow,
True! ‘Tis quite mellow
‘Cause ‘tis cream straight from me cow!”
