    There was a young man named Poddy
    Who formed a strange relationship with Noddy
    When Big Ears came in
    He ordered a gin
    But the odd pair stayed with a toddy

    I'm trying hard to be mortally offended (being Irish) but I can't help but laugh. Leave em in and leave en out actually means precisely the same thing? Still trying to work that one out, in the meantime, 'what are you after having'? Seriously, my cousin Frank was conductor for the three Tenors and a brilliant musician. May the road rise up to meet you. Happy Paddy's day.

    There are no snakes in Ireland,
    And if you ask me why,
    I'll tell you true, I'll not tell you
    That old St. Paddy lie.

    They fled from fear, my darlin' son
    For all those snakes did know
    An Irish fiddler'd snatch him up
    If he should break his bow.

    And to hear an Irish fiddle play
    And never have the chance,
    To hear a jig played on four strings
    And not be free to dance --

    That fate, you see, was horrid
    'Twas more than snakes could stand
    They left and swam across the sea
    And fled fair Ireland.
