    (continued from previous page)
    The new campaign I do not like of breaking land in bits
    I'd buy it all if I liked says Mr Paddy Fitz
    Gurteen,lower Road and every man
    Declares this club a queer band.
    They'll have to acquaint old Grady Jre
    The club has been a great success
    And its efforts are not vain
    That's the latest bulletin from Mrs Paddy Dane.
    There's progress made on every road
    It's acting like a charm
    I'll surely get a whack at Uncle Pierces farm.
