Round
2: Version 2.0
By Chris
It's time to raise our glasses again
To the things that we love most.
Because it's still IrishFest 2006,
And time for another toast.
To the Black & Tan that will be the reason
That you'll be black and blue.
For you were yelling and fighting all because
The green beer told you to.
To this fine state that's been my home
For fourteen years so far.
It introduced me to friends and good times,
And most of them in a bar.
To the most hellish night of drinking
That I've ever been through.
That horrible night I turned twenty-one
When my friends were twenty-two.
To Wisconsin, La Crosse, Onalaska, and Holmen
And the rest of the Coulee place.
To shoveling a driveway under two feet of snow
With a smile on your face.
To having no money, not enough for a beer,
But going downtown anyway.
Then getting so drunk that you sleep well past noon
And eat aspirin the rest of the day.
To family, to friends, to song, and to drink.
To everything we hold dear.
To IrishFest two thousand and six,
And to seeing you all here next year.
