I've heard that Christ was Irish, <br />Some say he was a Jew, <br />But he had Irish traits for sure, <br />I know of one or two. <br /> <br />He clearly roamed the Holy Land <br />For three years - maybe more, <br />Where storytelling was His game - <br />An Irish streak for sure. <br /> <br />His final supper took just minutes, <br />The whole thing was so fast, <br />Another Irish quirk for sure - <br />The quickest Irish Mass. <br /> <br />Turning water into Guinness - <br />A miracle He couldn't claim <br />But He drank wine for certain - <br />We know drink's an Irish game. <br /> <br />He stayed at home till thirty, <br />Didn't have His own bedsit, <br />Every Irish parents nightmare, <br />A son who wouldn't flit. <br /> <br />I know that Christ was Irish, <br />He just couldn't be a Jew, <br />But the final test would surely be - <br />Did he like Irish stew?<br /><br />Joe Hughes visit joehughes.org.uk<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-ve-heard-that-christ-was-irish/
