   Its a building of fame that will always re-main And i vow and declare its an honour to Jack. In form and shape its entirely great And was finished I can tell you for truth. He did not lose sight of perfecting it right Left a hole for the pipe and a hold for the crook (Pat Higgins Cloncoose Ballinamuck)

2. Cassidy's Buck

   Now to the Public I will state
   a subject of importance great,
   In languages plain exempt of lies,
   A buck I mean to advertise.
   Though poets are noted for the fiction,
   I will give sincere descriptions
   Of this superior quadruped.
   That has of late as much reputed
   By good authority I am told.
   He is, three years and six months old
   And for to thrive he always did
   Since he was but a little kid
   He's sturdy, sandy, tight and strong
   Besides he's stately, tall and long.
   Immautre prime he does appear
   And full as nimble as a deer
   His horns now to represent
   Are like the wattles of a tent
