In honor of St. Patrick’s day
Ireland was Ireland, while England was a pup. Ireland was Ireland, until England swallowed ‘er up. Now I’m an Irish catholic, (I’m not) And I go to sunday mass, (I don’t) And all ye bloody bastards, Can kiss me Irish ass. Happy St. Patricks day everyone.
My Egypt Post…
