- (continued from previous page)The Doctor was there and twas he that looked fine,
As he sat down, on pyatees and bacon to
dine;
And Westby and Burton were black in the face
From laughin', while Percy was saying the grace.
But ah! when the "Amen" they said, sir,
Did they think of the banished and dead, sir,
Evicted from Furoor to Loop Head, sir,
In the outhouse at Kilballyowen. There was Gibson and Falvey, Haier, Katty and Moll;
There was Patsy Shaun Larry and Thomasheen Voll;
And while with fat bacon their stomachs they cram,
Willie Studdert walked in with the battering ram.
Of manhood if they had a spark, sir,
They'd think of those ages so dark, sir,
Of Protestant soup, and The Ark, sir,
In the outhouse of Kilballyowen.(continues on next page)
