  1. There was an old poet going around long ago and he composed a poem about Nellie Power because she would not give him anything to eat. She lived in a bog near Ballydugan
    - Goats tails, and motor veils I cannot understand, with yellow boots, how Nellie Power can come out of the bog so grand.
