- (continued from previous page)'Twas like a ship without a belt,
When the ship began to sail,
'Twas like a bird without a tail,
When the bird began to fly,
'Twas like a needle in the sky,
When the sky began to fall,
The Lord have mercy on us all.John Barrett.
- A story and a story and a story is true
An old man died and his belly got blue.Donald Burke.Jack the brat would eat no fat
And his wife would eat no lean,
Between them both, they skinned the goat,
and licked the dishes clean.Donald Burke. - Christmas is coming and the geese are getting fat,
Please put a penny in the old man's hat,
If you haven't a penny a halfpenny will do
God bless you and your family too.Margaret Kenny - Collector
