- Long ago they made Rimes about people of other places. Here is one Páidín Wallace made about such a one.
a Riddle me in me ann me ó my father gave me seed to sow. When the seed began to grow like a garden full of snow. The snow began to milt like a ship with out a belt. When the belt began to conquer like a ship with out an anker. When the ship began to sail like a bird with out a tale. When the bird began to fly like a segul in the sky. When the sky began to fall the Lord have mercy on us all.
