Happy St. Patrick’s Day, time to play, a medallion in hiding,
Where can I be? Set me free, good luck deciding.
Who would have guessed, Readers Digest, the tri-colored flag,
Orange, White and Green, you know the routine, now you can brag.
In this year of Twenty-Two, who could have knew, the year of the Tiger,
Four score and seven, a piece of Heaven, like a Candy Striper.
Witch killer, this OZ thriller, it’s Dorothy Gale,
Little Nellie Kelly, down on your belly, what a tale.
Part of the plan, the sixth man, pester power,
A feather in ones cap, narrow the gap, make this your finest hour.
Discover and recover is the name of the game,
It’s nearly spring, Tut is the King, it’s all the same.
Fill in the blanks, Christmas with the Kranks, in like Flynn,
Mark your calendars, hold off all challengers, now we begin.
To the moon Alice, welcome to my palace, see you in a jiffy,
Put on your green, arrive at the scene, nothing to spiffy.
What kind of people? Swamp people, we’ll come back to this,
Funny as a Jester, what semester? Hit or miss.
It wasn’t to bad, the 24th Olympiad, what’s that in dog years?
In my day, curlers were for your hair, flavor of the month, I’m all ears.
Explanation:
1922, a Century Ago was the theme this year.

Doris Day,
Rowan & Martin were all born in 1922.

Century is a unit of time: Day, four score, hour, calendars, jiffy, semester, Olympiad, dog years, Blink of an eye, moment, many moons, span, instant are all units of time..
Kranks, Swamp people, bread & butter and kitchen are all references to the pickel ball court.
The 6th man is a reference to the benches in the park.
#1 & #2 are reference to the Biffy porta potty

Grand Marshalls they are, Jim & John, honorable guests,
Mahoney’s the name, Irish Heritage is the game, they’re the best!
Ms. Day, Que Sera Sera, Americas sweet heart,
Blink of an eye, identify, state of the art.
Number one portable, number two portable, on the move,
Plan your bestowment, if only for a moment, nothing to prove.
Eskimo Pie, declassify, locate the right base,
Everytime I look around, it’s in my face.
The paper kind, what’s on your mind, welcome to my host,
Hocus pocus, let’s stay focused, pose a toast.
Rowan and Martin, be the Spartan, when nothing is going right, go left,
Designer stubble, get here on the double, kind of a theft.
Play some tunes, many moons, look off in the distance,
For a short span, be part of a clan, success will be instant.
Come out and join, some call me the coin, it’s me in the flesh,
Order a Bud, never a dud, check the label to see if I’m fresh.
These units are the key, out in front of me, your bread and butter,
Remember the guy who gave up? Neither does anyone else, search through all the clutter.
If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen, no place for the meek,
I love the sound of clappin and if that doesn't happen, we’ll see you next week!
