Chasing of the grasshopers out of Finland. What? Is this a joke or real?
Found the poem.
Ode to Saint Urho
by Gene McCavic and Richard Mattson
Virginia, Minnesota
Ooksi kooksi coolama vee
Santia Urho is ta poy for me!
He sase out ta hoppers as pig as pirds.
Neffer peefor haff I hurd tose words!
He reely tolt tose pugs of kreen
Braffest Finn I effer seen
Some celebrate for St. Pat unt hiss nakes
Putt Urho poyka kot what it takes.
He kot tall and trong from feelia sour
Unt ate kala moyakka effery hour.
Tat's why tat kuy could sase toes peetles
What krew as thick as chack bine neetles.
So let's give a cheer in hower pest vay
On Sixteenth of March, St. Urho's Tay.
Well, many centuries ago when the Chinese fleets were exploring the world, their note indicated that Greenland was green and the was no sea ice north of the island. In other words, the globe was much warmer. It was then that Finland could have been much warmer and able to cultivate grapes. Unfortunately there are no records that might have disclosed Finland's prize winning wines. All we are left with is the hero Urho.

St. Patrick's Day 1957 my wife and I were married. 61 years and counting days, too risky to count years, just one day at the time. I have had a great ride in life. Very blessed!

Talk about a contradiction in terms.
Ahh, it is now St. Paddy's Day:
Today I'm Irish
Tomorrow hung over.
