T’was a night of merryment, indeed.
All the fine lassies and lads, assembling like locust bejesus! Aye, the crowd be green as green can be. There was Danny Boy, and Mother McCree, both drunk as drunk can be, but a fine time was had by all. If you weren’t Irish or Italian that night, your heart was green with envy. Come to think of it, if you weren’t Eyetalian, you weren’t at the dance!
The corn beef was the best, and the chicken was not too shabby either, as that grand old Irishman, Jerry Buffone organized, along with that crazed old Irishman: Father Dan Picciano blessing the St. Patty’s Day Dance, at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton’s parish hall.
We were very close to pizza, and in an emergency would have ordered it!
But no, the old Irishman, Joe DelBloggolo stood fast, as chair of the Fund Raiser, this Celtic event, I would proudly hold the tradition of Corn Beef and Cabbage on the table, and pizza under it, if need be.
The band: “The Nite Life” they called themselves, gave what they could, and a fine presentation of Irish Step-Dancers, showed their wears in front of a full house!
What was more amazing was that anyone would show up, the storm with high winds knocking down trees and limbs, causing major flooding and detours, while periodic power outages ruled the day!
But me, I had the prettiest lass of them all, as we swayed to the music and held to each other, and we fell in love once more! Then we really got down and boogied, cha chad and tripped the light fantastic! TLW (The Little Woman) then went out on the dance floor solo to do the Electric slide with other half-crazed ladies.
