    (continued from previous page)
    When Brian Mac Urp
    On the point of his fork
    Held up a big ivory button
    They all flew at Pat
    But he cut out of that
    He ran when he saw them all rising
    Revenge for the joke,
    They had, for they broke
    The chairs and the tables and dishes.
    And since that very night
    They'll knock out your light
    If the find you wear old leather breeches
    This old song was recited by James Colter of Coosheen and is very popular in this area. The writer is unknown.
