“One night left 2 on the dresse so as to have it for a pint porter”
Hogan - The bard of ThomandOne night left 2 ½d on the dresser so as to have it for a pint of porter in the morning. His mother took it and Hogan said:-
I wished to God I was anointed
For in this world I am disappointed
I must leave this land and go to another
For here a man can't trust his motherOn another occasion when Hogan was returning from work in Limerick he heard 5 men playing cards in a house in a rowdy fashion. He said :-
At 12 o'clock the town was silent
Until a row rose in the island
A table and a pack of cards
Stood in the mist of five blackguards- Collector
