On St. Patrick's Day

As a child, I wore a delicate
little wire shamrock on my lapel,
webbed with fine green threads;
as a teen, I pled my green eyes.
At a karaoke session last nite,
I sang “The Minstrel Boy (Lad)”
half-well, but only an Irishman
sitting a few tables away knew;
amazed, others congratulated me.
