    “Once upon a time there was a man and his wife living in an old house by the side of a hill. The husband was working with a farmer but this morning when he was out working in the field a poor old woman came in to the woman of the house.”

    Within this hive we are all alive
    And our beer is as sweet as honey
    If you are dry come in and buy
    But don't forget the money
    We are dry but we cannot buy
    I am sure the flavour is lovely
    If we went in ye would sting,
    Because we have no money
