In the year 1900 the Poet Sutton addressed the following to a fellow Poet Potts of Crossabeg
Come down and stop a week with me
As soon as you'll have time
And I'll do my best my learned friend
To teach you how to Rhyme
For I'll have some wine + porter
And whiskey in a keg
And I'll send you back a finished bard
To the land of Crossabeg.
He wrote the following poem about the ministers dog.
My poor little "Prenny"
When you were a cur
A rat or a mouse
For you could not stir.
But now you are feeble
And not able to bark(continues on next page)
