    (continued from previous page)
    In the year of sixty nine when the fodder it was dear,
    She ate a stack of corn on a man they called Frank Keane.
    Likewise a cock of foreign grass on Bernard Mackerlane
    She ate head-gowns, bed gowns and other kinds of wear,
    She ate cony lines and jinny links and bows of women's hair.
    She ate a garabaldy and a miser from Tin-Lough and she nearly ate John Creamer from the top of Glenaskough
