   Kinsella's Goat.

   Of all the damn devils of goats I have known,
   The worst of them all is the goat that I own,
   Which I bought in the Harrow in June '63,
   She has ate every cabbage and peeled every tree
   Around Ballytracy and Bolger's old fort
   And tomorrow I stand as a criminal at court
   To account for her deeds before Oulart's J Ps
   And I'll plead for her hanging on my two bended knees.

   I bought the damn rascal from Jack MacNamee,
   And he vowed that her milking was equal to three
   For quietness and order there was none to compare
   With the dame that I bought in the Harrow Goat Fair
   On our way to my homestead with the rope in my hand,
   At Tubbergal Cross she took full command,
   And capered before me like a soldier on guard
   So to measure her strength against Michael the bard

   Bad cess to the hour that I met Mac Mamee
   And the goat that was reared on the slopes of Slieve buidhe.
   In a whisper he told me she'd triplets last year
