    (continued from previous page)
    Before I'd work for government
    Said bold O' Donoghue.
    Around the house the police set
    Fire until a faithful ball.
    Lodged in the heart of O'Donoghue
    And caused him to fall.
    When he closed his mournful eyes.
    And the world he bid adieu.
    People all, great and small.
    Pray for O' Donoghue.
