  1. Paddy Drurey was a kind of a poet. The only local poet that I know in my district is Paddy Drurey.
    In the neighbourhood of my house there lives a man who made a poem about the "Greenville boys". These poets when they wanted to hunt rats out of a house would make a poem about the rats to hunt them out of the house. If the man of the house did not let in a poet he would make a poem about him and call him every sort of names and tell all the people around about him.
