The Ecphorizer

of McCann's own poteen;
Let yourself and your wife have the time of
your life, but don't wear anything green!
And bring Clancy and Clark and McKeville
and O'Toole who's truly a great souse,
But be sure that McNutt has his umbrella
shut before he sets foot in the house.
And we'll hold a Saint Paddy's Day revel
and our singing will waken the dead;
We'll have whiskey and beer and a laugh and
a tear, but don't throw your hat on the bed.
as the gang of us greet the new day,
Sure we'll have a grand ball, but look, don't
come at all, if ye meet a black cat on the way.
After publishing numerous books and plays in both Spanish and English, McCann has finally broken into The Ecphorizer. His reputation thus secured, he is content today merely to give small literary teas.

When in Mensa, do as the Mensans do. That will keep you very busy.
You will meet some very intelligent people who will do strange things to your body.
Be kind to minorities - take a Mensan to lunch.
Mensans are testy types.
