    Owen Colleran,
    Rathpeak,
    Ballinasloe, Co. Roscommon.
    Age 12 years, Farmer's son.
    Little Tommy Tucker
    Sings for his supper
    What shall we give him
    Meat, bread and butter
    How shall he eat it
    It must have a savour
    I am sure he will relish
    York shire for flavour

    Sweet remembrance for the past,
    Kind thoughts for the present,
    Good wishes for the future.

    Q As round as an apple as deep as a cup, all the King's horse would not pull it up
    A The sun below in a well.
    Q Alive in front dead in the middle and baptized behind
    A A man ploughing
