Everyone's Irish on Saint Patrick's Day,
at least,
all the drunks seem to act that way,
as they order beer
or their chosen form of Irish cheer.

I am not sure about everyone being Irish on Saint Patrick's Day, I do know that many people wish they were Irish on Saint Patrick's Day. Me I am Irish all year long, in fact, I am Scotch, Irish, German, and possibly English and Native American. If I were a cat I would be referred to as an American Short Hair. If I were a dog then I would be called a mixed breed.

Saint Patrick's Day, the day when one is supposed to wear green and look for shamrocks, which are sprigs of a three-leafed clover. Apparently, Saint Patrick used the shamrock as a metaphor for the Christian Trinity. This beautiful green plant is also the symbol of Ireland, which makes sense since Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland.

Blessing of the Day: For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way -
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and every day.
