- (continued from previous page)Manys is the pretty girl,
And manys the ladies fair.
Gazed in jockeys face,
That rode O Beirnes mare.
Mac Nally now can play his cards,
And fairly well he can.
But let him find a five for the ace of hearts.
On O'Beirnes Mary Ann.My grandmother told me this poem. It was a man by the name of James Owens of Cloonfad who made it. He is dead now.Joseph Rhatigan 10 August 1938.
