IRISH  BLESSING  # 17

May you wake up today

with a smile on your face the

moment you look in the mirror.

And if you should slip or trip 
sometime today, may nobody call 

you an amadán, a gom or an eejit.[1]

And may God whisper to you that

bagpipes are nice, but to be hearing them 
all day long - well that's another story.
