   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   This poem made by a travelling man is recited by the local people. It concerns chicken buyer named Delaney who lived in Kilkenny

   I
   Delaney from the market bout a fowl a month ago.
   If he meets the man who sold it he will kill him with a blow.
   He said it was a chicken of a plump and tender breed
   But of a more deceitful bird you will never near or read

   Chorus
   The bird it must have crowed when they built the Tower of Babel,
   It was fed by Cain and Abel and lived it lived in Noah's stable
   All the shots that were fired on the field of Waterloo.
   Couldn't penetrate, dislocate, enlogate,
   armour plated,
   double breasted'
   iron chested
   Cock a doodle-do.

   II
   When they settled down to pluck it all their efforts were in vain,
   There hands were torn and blistered and their muscles had a strain.
