For me dear Ol’ Ma, on patty’s
day.
While
walking home one evening I stumbled upon a leprechaun passed out in a Bush, what
luck, I thought once he sees I’ve caught him he’ll have to give me his pot
of gold. I roused the little fella “gotcha!”
I said “I lassie that ya do indeed” he
said while rubbing his brow. “I’ll gladly
take ye to me pot O’ gold, but first could ya be kind enough n let me stop at
ol’ Mary’s diner for a bit of corned beef and cabbage?”. “Why not, I said you look like you could use
a bite”. So off we went my little green
gold mine and me. Who knew a leprechaun’s
could eat so much, I thought. After an hour so, I had to usher my little bank
account outside so we could continue on our journey to find my gold.
We
started walking again. “Oh my dear lass”
He said “I’m feelin a bit parched’ as he put his tiny hand on his throat ”would
ya be mindin if we popped into this pub for a pint?, “Then will be off again. “I
promise ye” he begged .
“Oh
okay then, but just one”.I cautioned. So
we sat down in the crowded pub ordered two pints, when they arrived my leprechcon raised a toast to me and my good
for fortune. Just as I leaned down to
click his glass. He jumped up to click
mine and Bam! Hit me right in the
forehead. I went down like a sack of
Irish potatoes. When I woke sometime
later, I had been enlisted onto an Irish drinking team .Ding!, a bell rang and
my teammate nudged me, soon pints of beer slid in front of us. We downed them as fast as we could, one after
the other. It seemed to go on and
on. Finally, another bell ding! We won! we won !said my little green
companion. “Ye are me very own good luck charm lass. “
Guess
what we won…. yup more pints. Quickly I realized I needed to unload all that
beer, while I waited in the long line for the ladies room. I started hopping around trying to hold my
bladder. Unfortunately my tiny drinking buddy thought I was dancing and dragged
me by my pant leg onto the dance floor
to do the Jig. Whirling and reeling around and around, I could feel all that beer sloshing around in
my stomach. Well I had enough. I pulled my little friend away. “ Let’s go” I
said
“ I fed you, paid for all these drinks now
let’s go get my gold.”
“Make
me”. he slurred, raising his tiny fists
up.
Laughing,
I responded “Are you kidding me, you’re
like a foot high”.
“Really
now” He snarled “Well you’re an Amazon”
“Now
listen you little troll” I growled back
“Who
you be callin a troll” he yelled as he
swiped his tiny fist in my direction.
“Ha! You missed.” I said, making him even more angry.”
O’ Fatty” he hurled at me, so I shoved him with my foot
“ouch!” I yelled as he bit me on the shin.
“That’s it, you Gay- per-con” I taunted
“Gay! ya callin me Gay?” he said pounding on
his wee chest.
“
Yea” I said” Brite n gay, just like the
song… you must be, you fight like a girl ,hang around all those rainbows and
I’ve never seenor heard of a girl
leprechaun”.
It was after that we began brawling on the
floor.
“That’s it !” the pub owner yelled, “out! both
of you out! ” So we found ourselves
outside on the street, dusting myself off.
I said now!, now will you take me to my gold.
Deflated, he replied “Yes lass I will, I will.”
We
walked and walked, through the night, through the rain, through the valley and uphill
stopping at the top just as the sun came up. There we stood there watching the
most beautiful sunrise I had ever seen just then right, before us, a rainbow
appeared. My heart raced, I was soon
going to have my gold, I couldn’t believe it.
While I was gazing at the rainbow my
leprechaun was puffing away on his pipe.
Soon we were engulfed in a huge cloud I couldn’t see anything, then suddenly
images of Banshees, shamrocks , snakes and Lucky charms started swirling around me.
”
damn it” I realized this was a smokescreen , dizzily I took a step backwards
and felt myself falling, then rolling, till finally my limp body rested with a bang! Against a large stone. shaking my head. I was soon able to see I was right back where
I had started, the very place I had
first found the leprechaun laying in a bush . Alone I staggered home. It wasn’t
long before I realized no one believed me or my storey, and how could they, I
had no proof no leprechaun and no gold.
I
ended up with only a bit of clover in my hair, beer and smoke stains on my clothes
and a tiny bite mark on my shin.
