   Once upon a time Paddy Drury the poet was very drunk and he was coming out of Limerick. He was eating a loaf of bread and he saw a woman with a little dog. The woman called him and asked him to throw the dog a bit and Paddy caught the dog by the tail and threw the dog over the ditch. People in Knockanure laughed at Paddy Drury the Poet. He said:- "Knockanure both mane and poor A church without a steeple Where ignorant boors look over half-doors, To laugh at decent people".
