The Real Leprechaun

My family was on holiday in Ireland.
We spent some time in Dublin.
It was December 30th 2010
We took our three boys and two nieces for a tour of the National Leprechaun Museum.
At the end of the visit I was inspired to write this short poem about my day.

                                            The Real Leprechaun

                                            Today I woke and rode
                                                    then ran
                                               through the park of the Phoenix
                                              past a herd of deer
                                                  sleeping in the dark
                                               of a Dublin dawn.

                                              Came to the place of
                                                 the faery
                                               heard the story of Setanta
                                                    and the hound of Chulainn.
