    The only poet I know is Paddy Herlihy who lives in Caheragh. He made many fine rhymes about many people and as far as I know this is one :-
    You all know Thomas Roberts a hungry man
    Three times in the week he is sure to come on.
    He "bums" around Corlis, Lisangle and Maun
    Right west through Droumcoora and finishes at Gurrane.
    II
    He is a lickplate at Charles's for a very long time.
    Right west through Port Fada and finishes at Mime.
    I don't think hes married nor he doesnt mean to too
