They say St. Patrick charmed the snakes,

And drove them out of Ireland.

He banished them for all our sakes,

The island cleansed, made free from sin.

But, where did all the serpents go,

Once they had fled their native shores?

Did they spread out across the globe,

Afflicting evil, hate, and war?

Thus, as today, you toast good health,

True love, and long prosperity.

Don’t pass the buck to someone else,

Should snakes infest your property.
