"For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way -
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and every day."

“When we pulled in, the customs officer looked in the back. The back of the wagon was filled with cases stenciled PINK FLOYD--LONDON.

'Got Pink Floyd in the back of the car, do you?' he asked.

'Righto, mate. We shrunk 'em and stuck 'em in fookin' boxes, we did,' said Nigel.

Amazingly, the customs officer laughed and waved us through.”

"You've heard I suppose, long ago,
How the snakes, in a manner most antic,
He marched to the county Mayo,
And trundled them into th' Atlantic"

Damien's Rap for Theater Arts ~ I find it amazing that a child with autism that never wanted to participate in anything has come this far. I know it is difficult to hear him, but as a mom of a child with autism, I am more proud of the fact that he is up in front of the class doing this than anything else. I'll get the words from him and add them later. According to his teacher and his classmates, he was the best in the group. Move on over Eminem.
