Hisstory Lesson

[deckardcanine]

St. Patrick did not rid the Irish of serpents,
According to all of my sources.
They were noted as absent before he was born,
On account of environment forces.
It’s unlikely they ever existed on Erin,
Which used to be fully submerged.
It appears that the legend has snakes stand for druids,
Whom Patrick had thoroughly scourged.
