It appears to be that time of year 😮 

This is the week that we find out who pretends to have a bit of Irish in them, and those that have a bit of Irish in them and those that are Irish ☘️Git your minds out of the gutters

I'm past the age of going out and getting inebriated on alcoholic drinks that are green or really cheap draft beer that has been coloured green  The only thing I do is wear something green in order to ensure no one pinches me. I'm also past the age where I wear my favourite green undies and reveal them when someone asks where my green is .

Does Chicago still dump green food colouring or dye or whatever into the river? Does anywhere else do something like this  Not sure if this is good for the fishies since we find out more and more about the dyes in our foods and beverages. You think they drink the water and it goes in one end and right out the other, and I'm sure that colouring stays in them 😮. Would you like to pull out a nice fish while casting offshore, take it home and start to filet it and find green insides  

Geez, that is twice the number of pukes I usually use in a blog .

Oh, did any of you notice that the past Friday was Friday the 13th ? Did anything untoward happen to you or someone you know ? I hope not. I was so busy at work I didn't really notice. Maybe if you don't notice what day it is, you don't look for the strange and unusual. 

Now we are like 2 weeks away from the Poetry Anthology. I don't know how many people have submitted, but if you are thinking of it, git it going . And to tie into St. Patrick's Day, why not give a try at a limerick. They are Irish, are they not?

I was going to post a populare naughty version of 'There Once Was A Man From Nantucket" but I never knew past the first 2 lines. Now that I've seen all the lines, OMG 😮. Toss another puke emoji in here. 

Before I go down another rabbit hole, I shall get onto the Wrap Up.
