- A Rhyme from the Famine Days."Man or woman as you pass by,
Take a turnip if you are dry,
Take one, take two,
But if you take three, I'll take you"The above is supposed to be a notice, set up in turnip gardens, warning famine stricken wretches against taking more than two turnips.(From Tim Hedermann, who got it from old Cregan, dead some twenty years). (no title)
“It is not right that a girl or a woman should come into the house on New Year's Day to wish you a happy New Year.”
It is not right that a girl or a woman should come into the house on New Year's Day to wish you a happy New Year. Whatever they say, 'tisn't for your good they come.Mrs. Hayes, Dromloghan, Croom.
