I know I shouldn't of
But I smiled yesterday
When one of my friends
Told me a joke

'Two Irish guys
Are sitting in a pub.'
How many times have I heard
One start out like this

'One guy says to the other,
My wife's a saint
Just a pure saint
My hand to God.'

The other replies,
'Your're lucky
Mine, bless her soul,
Is stiill alive.'
