    He must work a quarter
    And that puts an end to his fun.
    Jack Thornberry was ne'er as merry
    As when he heard the ditty,
    For ganging home, he sang the same,
    For Myra and her sister Kitty.
    These poems are not sung locally as Tom Murray did not tell them to many.

  2. Cures

    Marsh-mellows grow in the wild parts of the country. They are used for the curing of sprains and worm sores. For the curing of those worm sores they are boiled and just applied to the sores.
    In older times when the doctors knew no other cure because they did not possess any medical science they used these herbs for the curing of Princesses and Queens.
