Drink like the Irish,  
don't mind if the beer,  
is cold or cool. 
Fight like the Irish 
be it Scots or English,  
man or a fool. 
Spread like the Irish 
to the new world 
or to the moon. 
Work like the Irish 
not waiting,  
for the boon. 
Dance like the Irish 
even if the music,  
and party is dull. 
Live like the Irish 
head up and with 
pride hearts full.
Vikram G. Aarella
