    About this war on which caused many a hot debate...

    (continued from previous page)
    insect comes that pops its head so low
    From underneath the poor beasts hide to propagate it's fold.

    but in council and by fireside
    this fly has raised a dust.
    When the scheme for its destruction
    has been frequently discussed.
    And if the pest we'll banish
    the cost it won't be small
    But what the kneed for worry
    when poor "Paddy pays for all.
    This song was composed by Terence Farrell
