The Curse of the Shamrock

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Monday February 24, 2003 21:49author by Darby O'Gill - Leprechauns for Peace Report this post to the editors

Lets give Bertie a present for George Bush

Let all the strange people of Ireland - all the mad ones and the different ones and the funny ones and the wise ones- all the witches and the little people and the wizards and the mystics and the leprechauns - let all the magical people of this mystical and magical land come together to put a curse on George's shamrock.

Let all the mystical, magical and strange people of Ireland put a curse on the shamrock that Bertie Ahern will give to George Bush around the time of the beginning of the Bush war on Iraq.

Let all the people of the world know that this Shamrock will be cursed. Let it be on the newswires and the noticeboards. let it be in the emails. Let it be on the radio and on the television and in the papers - that George's St. Patrick Day shamrock is cursed.

Let the people of the world KNOW that this Shamrock is cursed. Let George W. Bush and the White House Press Corp KNOW that this Shamrock is cursed. Let Bertie Ahern and Mary Harney and the people of Ireland KNOW that this shamrock is cursed. Let ALL the world KNOW that THIS SHAMROCK IS CURSED.

And then, as war is breaking, and peace and world order is collapsiing, and people begin to die, when our craven little leprechaun of a Taoiseach scuttles over to Washington with his gift, HE will know, and Bush will know, and the media will know and the people will know that Bertie is handing George W. Bush A CURSE FROM THE MAD PEOPLE OF IRELAND.

P.S. Some people might say "there is no such thing as a curse". To them I would say "there is no such thing as shamrock either (it's a type of clover). But Bertie will still be giving some to George.

P.P.S. This should be a nice, peaceful curse - not fuilled with anger or hatred. There's enough of that around.
