  1. (continued from previous page)
    Our railway is good, and the service is sound,
    The trains - given time - cover plenty of ground.
    Lots of nice buildings, and big wooden gates -
    Though sad to relate they are charged on the rates.
    Another thing too causes much discontent,
    And that is the fact that we have to pay rent,
    But the fellow we'd like to attack with an axe
    Is the blighter who worked out the first Income Tax.

  2. I'll sing you a song of the glories of Rynn,
    The home of fair women and hardworking men.
    A picture of beauty, fair flowers and trees.
    And herds of fine cattle in grass to their knees.
    From Cloncahir the lake goes to Tulcon's great weir.
    Where Fox has a pub and sells excellent beer.
    Where anglers rush when the trout will not rise,
    To give them new courage for fresh fishing lies.
