    Mr. Mike Neville, who lives in Tallow is able to make poetry. This is a piece which he composed.
    1.
    Here is Mrs. Hurley with a fly in her eye
    She told me to take it out but I could not reply
    She said, I was deaf as well as being blind
    But I did not mind Mrs Hurley, with the fly in her eye.
