  1. There are hardly any poets in this district.
    There was a poet in this ditrict about thirty years ago. He lived in Watergrasshill but he is not there now. He is in Jersey and every year he comes home to the house he was working in before he went away. His name is Dan Sullivan. He goes by the name of Dan the Poet.
    He was descended from a poet. His father and uncles were poets before him. His father was a farmer and had about a hundred acres of land. He kept over twenty-five cows and four horses.
