A St. Patrick's Day Tale: Read by M.A. Ludwig

For some reason this poem arrived in my head almost completely thought out.
Here are the words:
It was a grand St. Paddy's Day out on the moor
when I spotted a lass who was fine to be sure
Her hair was like threads of finely spun copper
so I took to me heels to run up and stop her

Ay, she flitted along like a spry little fairy
skipping and leaping with steps light and airy
I reached out me hand to grasp at her arm
But she spun out of reach and dashed toward a farm

The lonely old farmhouse bade welcome I fancy
to us sprightly young lovers who were eager and antsy
Ay, she soared up the ladder and into the loft
Where a lamp burned low and the hay was soft

I scrambled up after her, panting and heaving
and was stunned with a sight that was beyond believing
A wrinkly old hag was sprawled in the hay
Giggling and wriggling every which way

I rubbed me eyes hard and stared again
at her flabby old thighs and her face so plain
Her thin painted lips smiled a toothless grin
As her dyed copper hair crossed her sagging skin

My mind cleared at once as each glance made me sicker
In pursuing this lass I'd run off all me liquor!
