Shamrocks, Werewolves, and Saint Patrick

   
   "Shamrocks, Werewolves, and Saint Patrick"
    
Saint Patrick--so infused with anagogic mystery and magic,
Yet not in a sense of sorcery cruel, like with a torturous, technological gadget;
Regardless, using the shamrock's singular bloom of THREE
To express the Divine Trinity,
And if a four-leaf clover is good luck--
Possibly, the Virgin Mother having a gel, being with God in a state of mystical moonstruck.
And did Saint Patrick morph Welsh King Vereticus into a wolf?
Moreover, was Ireland's glistening green once dubbed Wolfland, filled with many a wolf?
Archaeological evidence on Ice Sheet reverberation over 30,000 years ago:  
Across Continental Europe to Ireland did the wolves on paw pads go;
Nevertheless, there is a plethora of plenty about fabulous fable and magical more,
Concerning the truthful lore of the Emerald Isle--Her once downtrodden and poor,
Yet having the best bard in the 20th Century,
Penning better than the English with language weaponry--
Whatever, have a pint or two of beer and ponder the love of Our Lady,
Knowing in the United States, Notre Dame is a great school, offering awesome theological gravy.
