   Sutton the Poet
   Sutton went in to Richard's Public House in Ballymitty won day.
   The man of the house said he'd give him a shilling if he'd make a verse about the quality of their drink. So Sutton started off:
   "No mistake your rum is wake (weak) Your whiskey is but water
   Your stout is no more than the washing out
   For me taste it is me author."
