schema:text	On March 17, 2022, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said at a press conference that later that day she would be reading a poem about Ukraine by Bono, the singer of the band U2, during the Annual Friends of Ireland Luncheon: This is a genuine video of Pelosi. This clip comes from a press conference that can be viewed in full here. The remark about Bono comes at the 51:40 mark. Pelosi's statement went viral as many people expressed surprise not only that the Irish singer had written a poem about Ukraine, but that Pelosi would be reading it at the upcoming luncheon. This Snopes writer even publicly expressed skepticism of the remark, hypothesizing that Pelosi had misspoke and that she was actually referring to a poem written by Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko that had been shared by U2's Twitter account a few days earlier: Here's the post from U2. However, this Snopes writer was wrong. We reached out to Pelosi's spokesperson and were told that the House Speaker was truly going to read a poem by Bono. And, true to her word, before introducing a group of Irish dancers, Pelosi read a short poem penned by the singer of U2. Bono's poem (more accurately described as a limerick) can be read 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 Here's a video of Pelosi's remarks:
