  1. Proverbs

    It's a long road that has no turning.
    The "Co Roscommon" day-lates.
    The Co Leitrim scutchers.
    You pig, you pog
    You orange dog
    You Co Leitrim scutcher.
    Do you remember the day
    You ran away
    With the sheep's head
    From the butcher?
    Above sayings are very much resented by Co. Roscommon and Co. Leitrim respectively.
    You'll never miss the water till the well runs dry.
    You must creep before you walk.
    Two of a trade seldom agree.
    The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
