On March 1

Welshmen gather on St David's Day

To toast winter’s worst away

Chapel folk toast with tea

Which, like suds, induces pee

Invariably wet, St. David’s Day!

Endnote: In addition to being the patron saint of Wales, St. David is also the patron saint of poets and vegetarians. Where the latter came from, I haven’t a clue. Unfortunately, I don’t have a more elevated rhyme to offer on the feast of poets.
