    Here are the poems that Mick Mac Rory wrote-:
    “The Broke Booked Creamery Cart,”
    “The Chocolate Hall,”
    “Mac Cormack’s Old Thrashing Mill,”
    “The Fight At Castlefin,”
    “The Far Tar Barrel,”
    “The Runaway Pony,”
    “Boners Old Horse,”
    None of these poets have much education. James Mac Laughlin had no school to go to. Mick Mac Rory it is supposed could not be gone to go to school.
    Francy Kelly made a poem called Bella Brook’s murder. He was called “Francy the Fiddler” and he is dead now.
