The Day Late and a Shamrock Shake Edition (Guest Editor, Piffin)

~.~.~

Quoted in the Grove:

I’ll seek a four-leaved shamrock in all thy fairy dells,
And if I find the charmed leaves, oh, how I’ll weave my spells!
~Samuel Lover

If you hold a four-leaf shamrock in your left hand at dawn on St. Patrick’s Day, you get what you want very much but haven’t wished for.
~Patricia Lynch

Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
~Seneca

And some days I am just this lucky!

Back when we were free

Destroyed by an idiot
Father’s pride and joy

Moonlight through windows
Gone curtain-grey with passion
Moisture; a footprint
