Fifty-foot Leprechaun
Some say he's taller than a mountain
Sprouting ginger red hair under black hat
Seen only by crawlers drinking from beer fountain
After every pub visit and not before that
I don't know if overindulgence of Guinness
Results in distorted drunk vision
But on Saint Patrick's Day I have to guess
Fifty-foot Leprechaun is an Irish superstition
