I drive a black jennet that is all short in the legs.
Drive on my black tutcher.
They think you are a mule.
On by Moyvoughly and home by the school."

There are not many poets in this district now-a-days. Long ago there lived a man in Walderstown named John McHugh and he made a poem about "Clery's Van." This is one of his verses.
Come listen, comrades listen,
Come listen to the song,
The birds are singing sweetly,
From Cork to Donegal. - Collector
