March 17, 2007 |
I saw a green clad leprechaun
Beside the Texas Sea
Three dozen floats, a tiny horse
And felt their harmony
They all came early, well prepared
The weather on display
Parading neath the pelicans
On Great St. Patrick’s Day
They gathered first at City Hall
Before the march began
With horse and cycle side by side
On floats green folks would stand
The best of all would prizes share
Their trophies dressed in green
Acknowledging their heritage
So joyful was this scene
Then as the sun did beckon them
These revelers set off
To share their great community
Along the Texas Gulf
Three thousand people, maybe more
All Irish just a bit
Did line the streets and on the beach
They patiently would sit
Bikini clad young beauty queens
And folks of every ilk
Tattooed ladies with their kids
And babies drinking milk
In front of Kitty’s it would pass
The lunch crowd had a show
And though the traffic topped the bridge
Pure happiness did flow
For every heart was wearing green
And every face a smile
As down in Surfside on the coast
St. Paddy’s did beguile | | © 2007 David Devaney |
