ST. JOSEPH’S DAY
g.a. scheinoha
I am one among many,
yet we are slovak few
who wear red
and gulp our brew
one day each year
on St. Joe’s
when like Irishmen
but two days later,
we strike a pose
and though the red
is in our beer
and dress
and not on
our nose,
all these differences
aside, we both bear
the same banner:
ethnic pride.
