   There were many poems in olden times around this district which were never written in books. Tom of the Height (Tom Prendeville) made a poem when he was in gaol for larceny. He had bad grammar in it:
   "I axed the warder for a drink of water,
   I thought the drought would pierce my heart,
   "The devil a drop," said he, "you'll get till morning,
   "Damn your eyes," said he, "the night is short".
   There was another poem made about Jack Lawlor.
   It was long ago when they had a football match against Wexford.
   "Lawlor then was on the ball, a man of might and grit,
   He made a clearance through the field, and then he found the net;
   The cheering was tremendous, such cheers were never known,
   Since Sarsfiled called a Lawlor to his aid at Garryowen.
   We had little Connie Murphy in centre of the field,
   He always proved a hero, and was never known to yield.
   Sullivan and Costelloe, and Pat Shea who'd jump the sky.
   And every time they kicked the ball, "Up Kerry"
