You should not lie, steal, cheat or drink.
If you must lie, lie next to each other
If you must steal, steal kisses
If you must cheat, cheat death
And if you must drink, drink with us, your friends

May misfortune follow you
the rest of your life,
and never catch up!

May the ships at sea
Never be bottoms up

(For my mate Dick, shared with me by another island friend)
There are good ships
and there are wood ships,
the ships that sail the sea.
But the best ships are friendships
and may they always be.

(Think about it)
Here's to you and here's to me.
I pray that friends we'll always be,
but if by chance we disagree,
to heck with you and here's to me.

Richard's Toast
When the time comes
for your Celebration of Life,
may the church be too small
to hold all your friends.

May your dog be the loyalist,
your friend be the bestest.
May the devil just find you
wearing pants of asbestos.

May you live as long as you want,
and never want as long as you live.

May you live to be a hundred years
with an extra year to repent.

(Kathe, thank you. These are toasts, not poems and this one is for you.)
I have known many and liked not a few,
but loved only one,
and this toast is for you.
(When you think of it, toasts are really poems that go best with drinking not thinking. Have a very wonderful St. Pat's day to you and yours.)

May your home always be too small,
to hold all your friends.

(Top of the morning to ya. A chilly 55 degrees but a great day for the Irish and a parade. Should be close to 65 by parade time 75 by noon. This last toast is going out to Beaver Island and the rest of the world.)
Whether you're Irish or whether you ain't,
come raise a glass to our Patron Saint.
