About a half a million souls march in the parade,

and a million or two cheer from along Fifth Avenue.

The St. Patrick's Day parade in New York City has

no floats, by the way. Did Cromwell put down Irish

rebellions in flower-covered cars? Have the English

cornered the papier-mache market? Whatever the reason,

this is a parade for the riding of shank's mare only.
