Savannah, Georgia has the second largest St. Patrick's Day celebration and parade in America. Most people think blacks were the slaves in this area but it was the Irish. They came as endentured slaves to Savannah thus giving Savannah one of the greatest cities of Irish Heritage in the states. I should know... my children have Irish blood running through their veins and me too. If you live in Savannah or just come for the celebration with a million others then you have Irish in you for a day.

Tis Green'n of the Irish Tis the Top O' the Marn'n...a good day to all Tis the St. Patrick's Day greet'n for the big and the small Tis emerald and is growing on beards and the dog Tis fountains a flow'n and even the grog Tis green beer and eyebrows and pointy tall hats Tis fur of the animals...not too many cats Tis beads and tis music...a jig for the crowd Tis booming that echoes with laughter that's proud The Irish have grown with this great green day Grumps that aren't Irish are suddenly gay They've adopted the brogue...an "O" fore their name Like Rowse is O'Rowse then more of the same Tis Shaunassey... O'Scwartz and Katey O' Wurtzburg Tis Brian O' Trier and Rosie O' Bainburge Tis wee little ones with ears out to here... Tis smiles with green teeth and green foaming beer Tis mounted patrols and kilted bagpipers Tis the lilt of a siren yelling from rafters O'Malley, hey Shawn, Rapfael and O' Doulle Tis faint funny grins on silly old fools Tis bands full of roar and sots with a tilt Tis these ones, we hope, aren't wear'n the kilt Tis green...yes tis green...tis Irelands great day Tis Tara Feish for families, tis gallant array Tis The Luck of the Irish when rain turns away Tis glorious...we're Irish...at least for one day. �Susan K.O'Rowse

Reading this made me feel as though I was in a corner pub on a cobble-stoned street

Ironic that St Paddy's day is celebrated more outside Ireland than in Ireland. Wonder how many of you realise that St Patrick was actually a Welshman !!
