Somehow, there are more symbols of Ireland than there are of other European countries, and these symbols make for great funny Irish poems. France has the Eiffel Tower, and maybe a beret; Germany has the pointy WWI helmet; and England has those bushy beefeater hats and Big Ben. But Ireland, Ireland has a treasure trove of symbols, all perfect for funny Irish poems.

Leprechauns. Consider the legendary leprechaun. Think "Lucky Charms" to get the right image. Leprechauns are not so much about luck as about the fantasy of instant wealth. Leprechauns, two-foot-high cobblers (shoemakers), are cranky old fairy-men rumored to each own a "pot of gold." These tricky little guys have to give up their gold so long as you can keep them in your sights. But if you are tricked into looking away, the leprechaun vanishes.

Blarney. And talk about Blarney! Blarney is the Irish gift of persuasive gab. The best way to get it, according to legend and lore, is with a kiss of the Blarney Stone. The Blarney stone is set in the base of the Blarney Castle, in Blarney, Ireland. Many of us don't travel so far for this gift of gab and instead buy a bottle of it at the corner market.

Shamrocks. What would St. Patrick's Day be without a shamrock? You might think that a shamrock must have four leaves, but you'd be mistaken. While many people do believe that a four-leaf clover is particularly lucky, the official shamrock is the classic three-leaf variety. St. Patrick himself used the three-leaf shamrock to explain the trinity, somewhere during the 400s AD, while a missionary in what is now Northern Ireland. You have to wonder if he did his explaining at the pub, or if he had any inkling of the holiday that would evolve in his name.

Limericks. If you're thinking funny Irish poems, you're probably thinking limericks. But the truth is that the limerick form was first made popular in England because of the famous nonsense-writer, Edward Lear. However, a good funny Irish poem can always be written as a limerick or in any poetic form.

Fun. The most important element of a secular celebration of St. Patrick's Day is fun! (Yes, many Irish do attend church for this holiday. Really.) in addition to the parties, the food, the friends and the green beer, it's good to also include the pure free fun of funny Irish poems.

Happy St. Paddy's Day to you!

1. New York City- The Big Apple has been welcoming the holiday with an extra large parade since 1762. Parade organizers expect the number of spectators to top over 1 million people this year. Many people say that there is no better place to celebrate St. Patrick's Day then New York City. It's best to expect very large crowds, however, since there is going to be at least 155,000 marchers just in the parade. However, you will experience the ambience of St. Patty's Day with the sound of bagpipes and green beer literally everywhere. Avid celebrants will get there early to make the trip to St. Patrick's Cathedral. After the parade is over expect the crowds to gather in the many Irish pubs that are located around the city.

3. Savannah, Georgia- You may be surprised to learn that this traditional Southern city goes all out for St. Pat's Day too. In fact they have one of the longest traditions of celebrating this holiday with their parade that began in 1825. While the festivities started out rather small, today Savannah's green party draws over 400,000 people just to watch the parade. The city also has a rather unique tradition with dyeing the many city fountains green. Many people, both residents and non-residents of the city, enjoy seeing the green fountains, as St. Patrick's Day gets closer. 

4. San Francisco, California- The "City by the Bay" hosts a St. Patrick's Day party that is both big and rich in history. San Francisco's parade is referred to as one of the most fashionable parades and it follows the iconic trolley tracks throughout the city. Since San Francisco is a town known for its restaurants, there are many places that offer food for the holiday. From upscale remixes of traditional Irish food, to authentic Irish pub food, this party makes sure that no one leaves hungry. The nightlife of San Francisco doesn't disappoint either as crowds gather at the many Irish pubs throughout the city, to keep the party going.

5. Dublin, Ohio- While this city shares it's name with nine other U.S. cities, as well as the most famous one in Ireland, it stands out for its St. Patrick's Day celebrations. The parade that runs for several miles, features lovely floats, lots of bands and of course dancing leprechauns. Along with the parade there are several parties (both public and private) that parade goers can attend. For some history on the celebration head over to the Historic District and enjoy an afternoon of sightseeing.

7 Fun Things to Do For Saint Patrick's Day

Saint Patrick's Day is a wonderful holiday, whether you are religious or secular, Irish or not. It is celebrated worldwide and one of the more universally festive holidays full of good cheer. Here are 8 fun things you can do to up your level of Saint Paddy's day cheer.

1) Go to a Saint Patrick's Day parade. This is fun for young and old, and many communities have them. You can look in your local newspaper on online to find out about parades. I've been to a number of excellent parades in many communities, and some of the best were not the largest either. Size isn't super important when it come to a fun parade.

2) Cook an Irish dish. The classic is corn beef and cabbage, but there are plenty of other choices as well. Serve to families and friends with a good Irish brew. I'm partial to Guinness myself. One year two of us who couldn't cook decided to attempt making an Irish stew for our friends. It might have been the best stew ever, but it was hearty, well received and pretty easy to cook. It was a lot of fun too!

3) Go to an Irish pub. It is bound to be hopping with activity, and you can probably order that Irish food you didn't feel like cooking and have a brew as well. I have a favorite authentic Irish pub I go to, where the owner and everyone who works there are from Ireland. But even if it's an Irish flavor pub it's fine.

4) A top choice, even if you aren't Irish, is to throw a party! It is a traditional party holiday after all. I have two friends who throw an awesome party for the day every few years, and not only are they not Irish but they don't even like beer.

5) Wear a costume. There are some fantastic ones available and they are not very expensive. Dress as a Leprechaun if you'd like, or choose from several other popular choices.

6) If a costume isn't for you, perhaps just a hat will go? Whether it's an emerald green bowler or a silly over sized Leprechaun hat, you'll stand out as a reveler, as some one both having fun and adding to others fun.

7) If you can't quite do the hat or costume thing, at least wear something green. Simple enough and you probably have something green in your closet anyways.
