SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

The Challenge:  This challenge was based on an old Irish proverb:  "He who comes with a story to you will bring two away from you."

Exponential Blarney by Bert

If you go to Ireland 
and you have a tale to tell 
Well they'll tell you a couple back 
And tell 'em twice as well

Chorus:
For two to one's the deal me lads 
the best you've ever known 
for everyone in Ireland 
has kissed the Blarney Stone.

Now yu've got three stories 
You're really in a fix 
If you tell 'em to a friend me boys 
He'll come back with six.

Chorus

Now you've got nine stories 
and as sure as Ireland's green 
You tell 'em to a neighbour 
and he'll tell you eighteen

Chorus

Now I've twenty seven stories 
and if I tell them to you 
You'll have to tell me fifty four 
before this day is through

Chorus

And if you keep telling stories 
As you go from door to door 
You'll have fifty million stories 
that you've never heard before.

Chorus

Bert
