Leprechaun-itis

A fellow named Pat liked to pinch

And found sneaking it was a cinch

Around the office

If he was cautious

And no one saw his fancy flinch.

But after five years of wincing

About phantom finger pinching

The gals around work

Pledged to find the jerk

Causing dreadful derriere dimpling.

It didn't take long to see that

The most likely culprit was Pat.

So they turned him in,

To H.R. boss, Finn,

Who said he'd stop the pinching brat.

But the thing that no one foresaw,

The defense that left all in awe -

"Leprechaun-itis

makes me pinch like this.

Been doing it since birth. Ask my ma."

Leprochaun Limerick

I've always wanted to befriend a leprochaun;
a mystical friend to party with until dawn.
We'd search for rainbows together,
find gold in the rainy weather,
and ensure no four leaf clovers get stepped on.
