Be careful what you wish for!!!

Missing image

As I left O'Mara's pub that night

the road it seemed so long

I decided to take a shortcut

across the fields of fairy thorn.

I heard a noise in the bush

a sound of tick and tack

and low and behold

when I took a look

upon a toadstool he was sat.

A little mischievous Leprehaun

with his coat of emerald green

and upon his head a scarlet cap

the likes of you've never seen.

Said I to him...

"I hear you're rich

with crocs full of gold"

Said he to me...

"Well t'is be true

but to get it you'd

have to be bold."

I knew to keep

me eye on him

or he would disapear

so I fooled him into

closing his eyes

then I grabbed him by the ear.

"Alright! bejesus be easy

you've got me by the scruff

i'll grant ye one wish only 

'cause you've caught me flemming bluff.

Said I to him...

"I need two wishes

one for me wife as well

he agreed on the condiction

that I would then bid him farewell.

so I wished to be far away

from that woman

and her nagging ways

and low and behold

it was granted

I was in Egypt wearing a fez.

So the Leprehaun went to the wife

Said he...

"Its one wish ye have from me"

she thought long and hard

then said...

"It's with my husband forever with me"
