    got a half chance.
    But Domino he watched her as fast as he could,
    For he would get no one else if he lost his oul spud.

    Greasy Divine is a man of great skill,
    In reading and writing and making a will;
    He played all night there as fast as he could
    O sure he is great sport says Domino and spud.
    This is written by Martin Casey who lives about two miles from here in Goulan Kilkelly Co Mayo.
