Murphy's Law:
Nothing is as easy as it looks.
Everything takes longer than you expect.
And if anything can go wrong,
It will at the worst possible moment.
May you always have:
Walls for the winds,
A roof for the rain,
Tea beside the fire,
Laughter to cheer you,
Those you love near you,
And all your heart might desire!
May the frost never afflict your spuds.
May the outside leaves of your cabbage
always be free from worms.
May the crows never pick your haystack,
and may your donkey always be in foal.
Lou Shea made a mulligan stew,
And ate every bit of the brew.
His wife cried, "Such rot! You ate the whole pot!
You're a truly stewed Irishman, Lou!.
As you slide down the banister of life,
May the splinters never point in the wrong direction!
May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind always be at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And rains fall softly upon your fields
And, until we meet again.
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
May you live to be a hundred years
With one extra year to repent.
I'm looking over a four leaf clover
That I overlooked before
One leaf is sunshine, the second is rain,
Third is the roses that grow in the lane.
No need explaining the one remaining
Is somebody I adore.
I'm looking over a four leaf clover
That I overlooked before.
Song
May you have warm words on a cold evening,
A full moon on a dark night,
And the road downhill all the way to your door.
May you be in
Heaven a half hour before the
Devil knows you're dead!
May those who love us, love us
And those who don't love us,
May God turn their hearts
And if he can't turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles
So we will know them by their limping!
May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.
May there always be work for your hands to do,
May your purse always hold a coin or two.
May the sun always shine warm on your windowpane,
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you,
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you!
May the blessings of each day
Be the blessings you need most.
May God grant you many years to live,
For sure he must be knowing
The earth has angels all too few
When Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure it's like a morning spring.
You can hear the angels sing
When Irish hearts are happy
All the world seems bright and gay
And when Irish eyes are smiling
Sure, they steal your heart away.
Song
May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
There are many good reasons for drinking,
One has just entered my head.
If a man doesn't drink when he's living,
How can he drink when he's dead?
May your thoughts be as glad as the shamrocks.
May your heart be as light as a song.
May each day bring you bright happy hours,
That stay with you all year long.
For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and every day.
An old Irish recipe for longevity:
Leave the table hungry.
Leave the bed sleepy.
Leave the table thirsty.
May the best day of your past
Be the worst day of your future
May your neighbors respect you,
Troubles neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And Heaven accept you.
There are only two things to worry about:
Either you are well or you are sick.
If you are well, then there is nothing to worry about.
But if you are sick, there are two things to worry about:
Either you will get well or you will die.
If you get well, then there is nothing to worry about.
But if you die, there are two things to worry about:
Either you will go to heaven or you will go to hell.
If you go to heaven, then you have nothing to worry about.
But if you go to hell, you'll be so busy shaking hands
with all your friends, then you won't have time to worry!
