Irish Toasts

[Racoon]

I found a nice little book cleaning out my grandparents place.

'course Grandpa was as Irish as they came.. :shrug:

 

Well, Irish are everywhere...

except IrishEyes here lately. :)

 

But, here is a lil' thread for just such an occasion!

 

Irish Toasts

 

"May you be poor in misfortune,

Rich in blessings,

Slow to make enemies,

Quick to make friends.

 

But rich or poor, quick or slow,

May you know nothing

but happiness

From this day forward!"

:eek2:

[Racoon]

May the roof above us never fall in,

And may we friends gathered below

Never fall out

 

cheers :hihi:

I'm Irish... at least by ancestry.

CHEERS!

"Here's that we may always have

A clean shirt

A clean conscience

And a guinea in our pocket"

 

:cup:

[Racoon]

"May you have warm words,

on a cold evening,

A full moon on a dark night,

and the road downhill all the way to your door."

 

:D

"The health of the salmon

and the trout

That swim back and forward near

the Bull's mouth;

Don't ask for a saucepan, jug or mug,

Down the hatch -- Drink it up!"

Rye bread will do you good.

Barley bread will do you no harm.

Wheaten bread will sweeten your blood.

Oaten bread will strenghten your arm.

Rye bread will do you good.

Barley bread will do you no harm.

Wheaten bread will sweeten your blood.

Oaten bread will strenghten your arm.

This is what I love about the irish,

words of wisdom with rhymes.

 

I once heard a song about all the types of logs to burn,

which ones are good, which ones are better.

 

Golden Bough was the name of the group,

they then went on to play a song about the LAST WHALE.

Saddest song ever.

 

Silancha,

Here's health and prosperity,

To you and all your posterity.

 

And them that doesn't drink with sincerity,

That they be damned for all eternity!
