It was a few nights before St. Patrick's Day
and as Irish luck would have it
The shelves were filled with great products
so the shout is out to come in and grab it!

There are stickers and games
trimmers, bulletin board sets and more
For the best selection, put on the green
and come in for the score!

The UPS man has been busy
delivering to our door
Names like Trend and Carson
And so many more!

We will give you an Irish welcome
as you walk through the door
See our Irish eyes smiling
when you shop at our store!
