The Ole Blarney Stone

If I were a stone what one would I be? I'd want to be one, everyone wants to see! Like they would for a star, folks would come from afar just to visit the Castle and "ME"! At Blarney Castle I would not be alone. As a matter of fact, I'm very well known! Visitors would be quite remiss, to not plant a Kiss, on "ME", the Ole Blarney Stone! NOTE: Blarney Castle is located in County Cork, Ireland. A Stone of Eloquence is located in the castle tower. Legend has it that if you kiss the stone, you'll never be lost for words! Thousands go there every year to kiss the Stone! I kissed it in July 1984!
