Watch Nancy Pelosi Read Bono’s Poem About Ukraine at St. Patrick’s Day Luncheon

Today (March 17) is St. Patrick’s Day, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi hosted the annual Friends of Ireland luncheon at the White House. At the luncheon, Speaker Pelosi read a poem that she said was written by U2 frontman Bono. According to a tweet from Bono, he has an annual tradition of sending Pelosi a limerick for the luncheon. “This year the limerick is irregular & not funny at all,” he wrote.

The poem, per Pelosi’s recitation, begins, “Oh Saint Patrick he drove out the snakes,” and it closes with a reference to Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky: “Ireland’s sorrow and pain/Is now the Ukraine/And Saint Patrick’s name now Zelensky.” Read the full poem and watch Pelosi’s recitation below.

Oh, saint Patrick he drove out the snakes
With his prayers but that’s not all it takes
For the snake symbolizes
An evil that rises
And hides in your heart
As it breaks
And the evil has risen my friends
From the darkness that lives in some men
But in sorrow and fear
That’s when saints can appear
To drive out those old snakes once again
And they struggle for us to be free
From the psycho in this human family
Ireland’s sorrow and pain
Is now the Ukraine
And saint Patrick’s name now Zelenskyy
