Tom Maguire Kinawley composed the '' Fight at Macken Hill.'' Those two poets died about 40 yrs ago. They are both buried in Kinawley. Corrigan from Teemore, Derrylin composed a song about the Creamery .
   James McCahill living in Swanlinbar presently composed the following song about his landlord who is still living

   I
