Oh Kathleen - you are thee good sport.  (i tried to sound Irish there, but I don't think it worked out).  However, hopefully this song did! 

It's Write A Song Wednesday, where the sky is definitely the limit in terms of what I am asked to do.   This week someone called in and asked me to create Irish song using an Irish dialect.  Others contributed with words that I had to include.  And then finally a lady named Kathleen chimed in asking if I could make this specifically about her.  Hey - no problem.

The random words that I had to fit in were the following:

leprechon
shilleleh
beer
castrating
propane
                            I was given an hour to create this.  After 3 cups of coffee to jolt me awake, here was the end result.  Lyrics follow the video
My name is Richie OPhillips
It's time to sing my song
bout a listener named Kathleen
                                                       an irish leprecon
                                     Every decade or so she loses her temper
                                                 and she goes insane
                                      and she explodes just than a match
                                       thrown into a tank of propane
                                           Kathleen's a real nice lady
                                        but God forbid she hates ya
                                         cuz if you get her mad enough
                                        Kathleen said she would castrate ya
she has more Irish in her
                                                     than you have ever seen
                                                     she even owns a shileleh
                                                    whatever the hell that means
                                                   Kathleen loves retirement
                                                   she had a great career
                                         she's happy home with her dog and cat
                                        and sipping her once a year beer
                                            So here's your song Kathleen
                                              I hope you liked my choice
                                             and if you don't I'm afraid
                                               it might permanently change  me voice
