I was in love with the tooth fairy you see
I even once asked if she’d marry me
She said she’d rather wear an old wreath
Then she fluttered away with all my teeth
I then fell in love with the Easter bunny
She was cute and fat and oh so funny
But then she started sipping my kegs
So I sent her packing with all my eggs
Santa’s wife could’ve been my one true love
We fondled hands through red fuzzy gloves
But Santa caught wind; put his elves on the sniff
Since then I’ve never gotten one Christmas gift
Then I ran across Old Mother Hubbard
She threw my shamrock in her cupboard
But when I saw the bones bloody and red
I ran away shaking my little green head
So Mary and I hooked up for a time
I was getting used to talking in rhyme
I caught her giving my gold to her lamb
I knew this romance was nothing but scam
I have no teeth and my keg is dry
And I have nary an egg left to fry
Ole Santa flies by throwing black stones
And that crazy old woman wants my bones
A leprechaun’s path is a hard one I’m told
And a lamb now owns my pot of gold
I will keep trudging and keep up my paces
While looking for love in all the wrong places
But my gold I’ll get back at rainbows end
And I’ll dance all night with my forest friends
Till the day I find Jack, past-out from the juice
And Jill’s all alone with Ole Mother Goose

First off, YOU'VE BEEN HOODWINKED! Just wanted to get that off my chest. Wonderful job here. Loved the humor, how did you get so good at it. And the rhyme, ah, perfection! The leprechaun was a cute touch, and this was very deserving of the gold. Again, an excellent job well deserving of the award!

thanks

lol. I love this. So the leparchaun is a weasel playboy after all... never did like him. This was really cleverly done. I think you might be missing a word in here though, "A leprechaun’s path is a hard I’m told
" Good lucky charms.
