    The Droughmore Grabber
    I
    Last week in my rambles around Donoughmore.
    To pick up a bit for the childer
    I went down to Purcells and went at the door
    My sences were greatly bewildered
    For there I was shucked by a ferret eyed bum
    Who kissed like a serpent and at me he looked glum
    He told me to quit and again never come
    As the farm belonged to a Grabber

    He hunted me off and I met Wille Lane
    Who cheerfully gave me a shilling
    "Sioban" said poor Wille
    Our dear friends again
