    “One night left 2 on the dresse so as to have it for a pint porter”

    Share Share Post
    Hogan - The bard of Thomand
    One 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 mother
    On 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
