Limerick

I don't think my limerick skills are up to this task, so I'll post my mediocrity here instead:

My grandmother mourned Bobby Sands,
And supported most Sinn Fein demands,
Well, I'm Irish too,
And I say "Fuck you,"
To murdering IRA bands.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, and a big virtual toast to the McCartney sisters.

It's March Seventeenth, so I hear,
But the party's not anywhere near.
I'll be studying, see,
It's exams week for me,
So the Irish can kiss my fat rear.

Clever, personal, topical, and the right number of syllables.

Other than that, absolutely mediocre.

You clearly underestimate your limerick skills.

I can't stand it when people don't get the syllables right; I admit it. Stick to 8 or 9 syllables for lines 1, 2, and 5, and 5 or 6 syllables for lines 3 and 4--how hard is this?

x
x
y
y
x

Where x = {8|9} and y = {5|6}. Okay, I'm stopping now before someone corrects my set notation there.

a little Irish rhyme then ...

There is a young girl of Kilkenny,
Who is worried by lovers so many
That the saucy young elf
Means to raffle herself,
And the tickets are two for a penny.
