  1. Local Poets

    There is not any poet in this district now.
    Long ago there was a poet named "Marcus" from Kerry. He used to go round from house to house making poetry and songs and then the people would give him money. This day he went to a big gentleman's place named Hyde and he sang songs. When he had finished Hyde gave Marcus no money. Then he went away and made a verse about him.
    "In all my ranging and serenading
    I found no "nager" but Humpy Hyde."
    When Hyde heard of this he sent for him and paid him and Marcus made another verse
    "In all my ranging and serenading
    I found no equal with Humpy Hyde
