The Leprechaun Trap

The leprechaun trap wasn’t empty;

A toy leprechaun nestled inside

With a nice thank you note

That the leprechaun wrote,

So my granddaughter took it in stride.


If she’d caught one, she wanted some wishes,

Like a carousel built in her room

Or to meet Taylor Swift

Or a baby sis gift,

None of which she could get, I’d assume.


Her big brother, who once would have joined her,

Now knows Daddy left Seamus* behind;

He confirmed, with a wink.

Childhood ends in a blink,

With these memories etched in the mind.


*the toy leprechaun’s name, according to the note
