Limericks
The Sultan got sore on his harem
And invented a scheme for to scare 'em;
He caught a mouse
Which he loosed on the house,
(The confusion was called harem-scarem.)

Irish Thought for September 9...
Learn Gaelic!
An bhfuil tu damhsa liom? Would you like to dance with me?
Bi ciuin! Ta tinneas cinn orm. Be quiet! I have a headache.
An bhfuil pian ort? Are you in any pain?
Beidh an dochtuir anseo gan mhoill. The doctor will be here soon.
Thalla a chluiche le do deideagan. Go play with your toys.
Ni hespa go dith carad. There is no need like the lack of a friend.

A Wee Bit O' Irish History
Founded by Vikings in AD 988, the city of Dublin was named after an ancient stagnant lake in the city where the Scandinavians moored their ships. The dark lake was called Dubh Linn, which means "Black Pool." The original Dubh Linn lake was covered over and now lies under the gardens behind Dublin Castle, where it sometimes doubles as a landing pad for government helicopters.
