Happy St. Paddy's Day

My favorite holiday though I won't be celebrating today since I have a night shift at work. But to mark the occassion, a little limerick in honor of one my favorite Irishmen who often quoted this old Irish saying:

On St. Paddy's Day join in the mirth.
Drink all night without thought for the girth.
You're not drunk on your ass,
till you're clutching the grass,
to stop falling off the face of the earth.

(Yes, I know the meter is not quite right, but it was the only way to get the adage in.)
