- Pontius Pilate had a horse
That was black, blue and grey.
And an ugly one, too,
The Scripture does say.
He never got a match
While a horse was to be had
'Till there came an ugly peeler to the town of Ballinafad.ii

They couldn't speak of jail
Because I kept a donkey that used to wag his tail.(continues on next page) - Collector
