Leprechaun trap with little leprechaun climbing a letter and getting trapped inside.

DO NOT CATCH A LEPRECHAUN

By Jamie Bills
 BEFORE St. Patrick’s Day, my teacher said, β€œYou should make a leprechaun trap.”
 Β 
 BEFORE St. Patrick’s Day, I thought it was a good idea.
 Β 
 I wish I could go back to BEFORE.
 Β 
 BEFORE I made the trap.
 Β 
 BEFORE I caught a leprechaun.
 Β 
 BEFORE that leprechaun ruined my life.
 Β 
 Because…
 Β 
 AFTER I caught him
 he snored all night
 and woke me at dawn…
 β€œTOP OF THE MORNING TO YA, LAD!”
 Β 
 AFTER I caught him
 he played tricks on me. 
 Β 
 AFTER I caught him 
 he dressed me up like a Leprechaun.
 Β 
 AFTER I caught him
 he took over my piggy bank…
 and my room.
 Β 
 AFTER I caught him
 I was too busy dancing the jig
 to play video games.
 Β 
 AFTER I caught him
 I tried to set him free.
 Β 
 Take my advice:
 Do NOT make a leprechaun trap!
 Β 
 Because you can’t return to BEFORE…
 Β 
 AFTER you catch a leprechaun.
 Β 
 β€œMORE DANCING LAD!”
