Impress your firends by offering the wit and wisdom of the Emerald Isle. Choose your mood:
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow
And may trouble avoid you wherever you go.
May you be in heaven an hour before the devil knows you're gone.
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.
May the grass grow long on the road to hell for the want of use.
Here's a health to your enemies' enemies.
May the roof above us never fall in and may we friends gathered below never fall out.
May the seven terriers of hell sit on the spool of your breast and bark in at your soul-case.
The treatment of the boiled broken little fish to you.
Six horse-loads of graveyard clay on top of you.
You will be defeated in every engagement you take part in and in every assembly you attend you will be spat on and reviled.
-- St.Patrick
