- One time there was a woman named Mara Rooney. She used to keep a lot of goats and she would churn in a pot. She had a boy named Johnny-Jack. He used to sit on the lid to keep it down. She used to say another dash and we will have enough butter to buy the tea and sugar. In the middle of the churning she would say 'Go out now and tether the billygoat and dont let him go into Mara Ties oats. She would make the butter in a bucket and strain the milk through a handful of straws.
