- (continued from previous page)Michael made the following verse.
There's luck and grace in every place.
Since Givern went away
Like neb who was a wicked king
And it is in Holy Scripture
we read such a thing
He got the heart of a wild beast
To feed upon the grass
But Givern had a serpent's heart
And could let no one pass''It was said that an old man Mr. Tom Maguire of Crocknacrieve Kinawley was also a poet. He had the power of banishing rats from one place to another
He died about 36 years ago
He wrote something and put it near where the rats were
After this they usually went away
