A colon is the answer.
A semi-colon used as a super-comma is grammatically correct, but it would still be
confusing on a first read as a semi-colon at the end of a line of poetry is almost
always being used as a conjunction.
It does bother me somewhat that there's no indication as to who the people are that
think St. Patrick’s Day, New Years, and Birthdays are limp obligations. Leaving this
out implies you think everybody views them as such. Since my friends and relatives
love these holidays and usually (9 out of 10) have a rollicking good times (probably
too much so on New Year's*), it doesn't make much sense to extend it to everyone.
Though, of course, freedom of opinion is a universal right.
An old couple that has sex once a week (though Thursday, instead of Saturday, is a bit odd)
is pretty fucking amazing. Nothing limp about that!
* "New Year's" is an abbreviation for "New Year's Eve" so it really needs an apostrophe.
