The Green Tie

SAINT PATRICK is not my patron. But perhaps he should have been. And when March 17 comes around I'll be thinking of him and of the good turns I did for him in times past and for the green land that was his own, although it was not the land of his birth. And perhaps the good saint will be thinking of me a little and maybe putting in a good word for me though it's me that gave up being one of his assistants here some time back.
