BLACK IRISH?...

On the chest of a barmaid in Sale
Were tattooed the prices of ale.
And on her behind,
For the sake of the blind,
Was the same information in Braille!
~
There are only two kinds of people in the world, The Irish
And those who wish they were.

Don't ya just love a wee Irish limerick...

  1. It's kinda strange--I remember when I was a little girl, Dad would tell me our ancestry included the Black Irish...as though it were a bad thing, to be whispered about.

    The black Irish were the small brown people with blue eyes and black hair, who lived in the hills of Ireland.

    I rather like the idea of these amazing fey people in my ancestry.
