    fight,
    Because those noisy squealers
    Don't give a straw for English Law
    Or the Graignamanagh peelers.
    VI We have a club for all who love
    Diversion and delight Sir,
    Where great and small can play handball,
    Or billiards every night, Sir
    And if some boys don't care for noise
    There's other recreation,
    We've papers there from everywhere
    With the "hoighth" of information
    And now 'tis time to disappear,
    My verse is nearly ended,
    We've singers here from far and near,
    All talented and splendid,
    I know it's wrong to stay too long
    Discoorsin' and collogin'
    But I hope at laste you're not displazed
    With a boy from Ballyogan
    P.S { Most of above was compsed by Mr William Blanchfield
    Ballyogan, Graignamanagh
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
