- (continued from previous page)Loud quacks the duck
The peacocks cry, the distant hills are looking nigh
And seeing yon rooks how odd their flight
They imitate the gliding kite
And headlong downwards seem to fall
As if they felt a piercing ball
It will surely rain I see with sorrow,
Our jaunt must be put off till morrow.
Hark how the chairs and tables crack
Old Bettys joints they are on the rack.Got from; My uncle Pat age 64, Ballykeerin, Bullaun.

- Hidden TreasureThere is supposed to be a treasure found about a mile from our house. Near this spot there used to be a light seen every night at about twelve o'clock. One night a man said he would dig there. He did so and when he had dug down a piece he met a crock. Just as he was about to pull up the crock he was shoved and hid against a tree and was killed in the instant. Got from: My uncle Bullaun, Loughrea.
