If You Meet A Leprechaun

If you meet a leprechaun,
You should treat him with respect.
He is a phenomenon
With an Irish dialect.

Do not be fooled by his size
Nor smile hidden in his beard.
What he said were not quite lies,
But yet not as they appeared.

You see, he lives by himself,
And sees now a bit of fun.
You are his chance for mischief
And a rare encounter won.

He does not mean to harm you,
But your good is not his goal.
Twisting like a crooked screw,
He wants all in his control.

But if you ever trick him,
Beware of his awful rage.
Fun will become hateful whim
And he will go on rampage.

So, when you meet such a soul,
You do best to back away.
Say hi and keep to your stroll
And you’ll never rue the day.
