    A Funny Story
    There was once carved on a tomb stone the following verse.
    Remember me as you pass by. As you are now so once was I. And as I am now so you will be. So make up your mind to follow me.
    A Tramp wrote.
    To follow you, I am not content. Unless I know the road you went.
    Thomas Hogan.
    (told me by my father - John Hogan. Kinnard, Glin. Co. Limerick.
