THE TOASTS OF IRELAND...

May you die in bed at 95 years,
Shot by a jealous wife!
~
A toast to your coffin.
May it be made of 100 year old oak.
And may we plant the tree together, tomorrow.
~
Here's to cheating, stealing, fighting, and drinking.
If you cheat, may you cheat death.
If you steal, may you steal a woman's heart.
If you fight, may you fight for a brother.
And if you drink, may you drink with me.
~
May the best day of your past be the worst day of your future.
~
May misfortune follow you the rest of your life,
but never catch up.
~
Bless your little Irish heart -- and every other Irish part.
