Golden ApplesLUCKY LEPRECHAUN
Lucky leprechaun in a ship, lucky leprechaun starting to skip.Lucky leprechaun in a tree, lucky leprechaun next to me.
Lucky leprechaun in the pool,Lucky leprechaun at school.
Lucky leprechaun starting to hold a piece of some gold.“I found it,” he shouted. It’s bright and bold.
He had to say thanks to me, and he was off with glee!
