                   My Dragon Fly and Me 
                 
                    
                   
                   
                   If I could be a Dragon Fly   and wing my way through the sky   I would never be shy   just me and my Dragon Fly!  
                 
                  
                   By moonlight we ride the wind   chase the comets tail for fun   by day we would hide from the sun   our fragile wings would come undone  
                 
                  
                    On darkest nights we would use   fireflies as our guide   we would dip and we would glide   through the heavens open wide   and scatter diamonds in the night sky  my Dragon Fly and me... 
                 
                  
                   And we would wing past our lovers   silent in the night...   to kiss their face in our flight   much to their surprise and delight   my Dragon Fly and me in sight...  
                 
                  
                  
                    Such a view do we share   away up here in the air   of breezes soft through our hair   my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

     Aye, the part of Irish that's in me comes out entirely this week! And I wish the same for you! 
  
 But oi've got some terrible news! 
  
 Mary Clancy goes up to Father O'Grady after his Sunday morning service, and she's in tears. 
  
 He says, "So what's bothering you, Mary my dear?" 
  
 She says, "Oh, Father, I've got terrible news. My husband passed away last night." 
  
 The priest says, "Oh, Mary, that's terrible. Tell me, Mary, did he have any last requests?" 
  
 She says, "That he did, Father." 
  
 The priest says, "What did he ask, Mary?" 
  
 She says, "He said, 'Please Mary, put down that damn gun...'

    That wasn't an appropriate Irish reaction, are you sure your Irish? 
 Try this. It's another good joke if you can ignore Microsoft's messed up formatting. 
 
  IRISH DECLARE WAR ON SADDAM
Saddam Hussein was sitting in his office wondering who to invade next when his telephone rang. "Hallo! Mr. Hussein," a heavily accented voice said. "This is Paddy down in County Cavan, Ireland. I am ringing to inform you that we are officially declaring war on you!"
"Well, Paddy," Saddam replied, "This is indeed important news! Tell me, how big is your army?"
"At this moment in time," said Paddy after a moment's calculation, "there is myself, my cousin Sean, my next door neighbor Gerry, and the entire dominoes team from the pub-that makes 8!"
Saddam sighed. "I must tell you Paddy that I have 1 million men in my army waiting to move on my command."
"Begorra!", said Paddy, "I'll have to ring you back!"
 Sure enough, the next day Paddy rang back. "Right Mr. Hussein, the war is still on! We have managed to acquire some equipment!" "And what equipment would that be, Paddy?" Saddam asked. "Well, we have 2 combine harvesters, a bulldozer and Murphy's tractor from the farm."
Once more Saddam sighed. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 16 thousand tanks, 14 thousand armored personnel carriers, and my army has increased to1 and a half million since we last spoke. 
  "Really?!" said Paddy "I'll have to ring you back!"
Paddy rang again the next day. "Right Mr. Hussein, the war is still on! We have managed to get ourselves airborne! We've modified Ted's ultralight with a couple of rifles in the cockpit and the bridge team has joined us as well!"
Saddam was silent for a minute, then sighed. "I must tell you Paddy that I have 10 thousand bombers, 20 thousand MiG 19 attack planes, my military complex is surrounded by laser-guided surface-to-air missile sites, and since we last spoke, my army has increased to 2 million."
"Faith and begorra!", said Paddy, "I'll have to ring you back." Sure enough, Paddy called again the next day. "Right Mr. Hussein, I am sorry to tell you that we have had to call off the war."
"I'm sorry to hear that" said Saddam. "Why the sudden change of heart?"
"Well," said Paddy "We've all had a chat, and there's no way we can feed 2 million prisoners."

      An Irish Fight:
  
 Into a Belfast pub comes Paddy Murphy, looking like he'd just been run over by a train. His arm is in a sling, his nose is broken, his face is cut and bruised and he's walking with a limp. 
  
 "What happened to you?" asks Sean, the bartender. 
  
 "Jamie O'Conner and me had a fight," says Paddy. 
  
 That little sod, O'Conner," says Sean, "He couldn't do that to you, he must have had something in his hand." 
  
 "That he did," says Paddy, "a shovel is what he had, and a terrible lickin' he gave me with it." 
  
 "Well," says Sean, "you should have defended yourself. Didn't you have something in your hand?" 
  
 "That I did," said Paddy. "Mrs. O'Conner's breast, and a thing of beauty it was, but useless in a fight."

    What's new Bestest Girlfriend.
To: fatima
    Not too much really, going along to get along. LOL
The landlord had some work done on the manse. A new bathroom window, so much better now, and a roof over the outside back door, keeps the weather off the steps. Much safer now for me to put the trash in the can. could not do it much of the time in cold weather, ice all over the steps.
What is new with you, the store going strong??
