The poem indicated that Saints “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 Zelensky,” the poem concluded.

The Speaker of the House went on to accept applause for the poem, looking impressed with the reaction.

“You like that, father,” she said, before giving him the paper on which the poem was written.

Pelosi read Bono’s work before introducing the Riverdance.

President Biden was also at the lunch, where he was seen wearing a blue suit with a green tie and pocket square.

Instead of wearing the classic Irish green color, Pelosi opted for a blue dress.

The pair conducted an Irish toast after both making speeches to commemorate the holiday.

Earlier that day, Biden met virtually with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin after the visiting leader’s positive test for Covid scrambled plans to mark St. Patrick’s Day at the White House.

“I’m really deeply sorry for the inconvenience that we have to meet virtually this year,” Biden said to Martin, who dialed in by video link while isolating at Blair House across the street from the White House.

The traditional crystal bowl of shamrocks gifted to the US president was displayed next to the television monitor set up next to Biden’s chair in the oval office.

“I’m doing good, and I think that reminds of the vaccines and that the vaccines prevent severe illness,” Martin told Biden.

Biden and Martin joined to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which has jolted the world and brought the US and its European allies to unite in condemnation and to place stiff sanctions on Russia.

“We have to be united,” Biden said. “We certainly are. But Putin’s brutality and what his troops are doing in Ukraine is just inhumane.”

Martin said he wanted to salute Biden’s leadership in marshaling democracies against what he called an “unjustifiable and immoral war,” “It’s firm, it’s determined, it’s measured, it’s strong,” Martin said.
