    For Easter is at hand,
    For the plane a chisel is a puzzle,
    To know which one he will give a hand.

    Oh, Nora Collins I forgot your name to head my list,
    J.J. Hogan with dog and gun,

    Refreshments there, were very scarce he will go there no more,
    I hope they'll soon a wedlock be,
    No more to go to Skelligs,
    And live down by the Creamery away from Poulavelig.
