- I remember one fine bright warm Summer's day - many a year ago - I was only a 'nipper' at the time - we were saving hay in Mikie Noonan's field - that one where the food is. All at once there was a sweep of wind and one of the cocks I was after making was whirled up into the air, and a sop of it never came down in that field again. I saw it with my own two eyes - God bless them. I was watching it going up and was waiting for it to fall, but it never came down. Twas the "Shee geehe did that".

“When you hear or see the whirlwind you should through up a piece of grass or hay...”
When you hear or see the whirlwind you should through up a piece a grass or hay and say "God bless all travellers & the Shee-geehe would take no hay out of the meadow."When you see a whirlwind taking dust out of the road you should turn your back to it.
