Final Blog Entry

September 28th, Limerick, Ireland

There once was a group from Edina,
Who boarded an east bound airline-a,
In Dublin they rang,
In Galway they sang,
And their music could not have been fine-a.

Their leader was Father Greg Welch,
Whose craic was too mighty to squelch,
He preached and he prayed,
Into pubs he oft strayed,
Blessing all with a round and a belch.

Jeff was the brave music minister,
Whose motives were almost ne'er sinister,
When for tuning he pleaded,
Of course, he succeeded,
And after cried, "Just one more Guinness, sir."
 
They did not end their trip in Nantucket,
But in Lim'rick quaffed pints by the bucket,
They tried to make time,
To find the right rhyme,
But finally gave up and said, "Uff da."

 
Here's to a safe journey back across the Pond...
