Blessings

May
your blessings outnumber
The
Shamrocks that grow
And
may trouble avoid you
Wherever
you go. |
| Toasts |
| May
the lord keep you in his hand and never close his fist too tight on you. |
| Jokes |
| St.
Peter answers a knock at the Pearly Gates. "What's your name?" he asks.
"My name's Sean Patrick O'Malley!" is the reply.
"Yes"
says St. Peter, "I see your name in the book, but it notes you were a member
of the IRA. You can't come in here."
"Come
in hell!' Is the reply. "I'm giving you ten minutes to get out!"
