This is 'An Irish Tale' from the point of view of the Leprechaun. I think it's funnier than the original.

Elfwood artist Richard Svensson has created an illustration for this poem, called The Leprechaun. Check it out!

A Leprechaun's Tale


You'll not believe with your ears what happened to me

When I walked in the forest not far from the street.

Out for a stroll I went walking one night

And I caught for myself a terrible fright.


I decided when I found a fallen tree

To sit myself down and rest me sore feet.

So down I did sit and me feet I did rest

When there came such a sound as to scare me to death.


From behind me jumped a giant of such a great size

I could nay hardly believe me eyes!

He reached and he grabbed at me very self

I screeched and I screamed and I hollered for help!


He was after me gold, sure as I stand

But I got away, so quickly I ran.

I forgot all about me feet being sore

And did nay stop running 'til I reached me own door!


So believe me young Leprechauns when I tell ye this:

Big people are real; They truly exist!

But one day he hears about a huge magical pot of gold at the top of this cursed mountin and despite all te others tring to convince him not to go he still desides to go. The end
