    There are a number of poets in this district. There names are, Patrick McCabe, William Johnston, Patrick Keogh and Michael Brady. Michael Brady made a song about a wandering ass. Come all ye Gaelic [?] and listen on to me,
    I will sing for you a [?] or two about our young [?]
    Of all this chance I must avail,
    I cannot let it pass,
    I mean to tell you one all,
    He kept a wandering ass
    This donkey minus shoes
    And on his breast a sore
    He is a scourge to Middletown
    and all around Drumgore,
