    There was a tinker at a fair in Cappawhite one day.
    He was arrested for being drunk and disorderly.
    On the way to the barracks the peeler said in decision "I wonder is there any tinker in Heaven"
    "There is" said the tinker "one got in by mistake and Heaven was searched for a peeler to put him out and once couldn't be found"

    May Jesus be at my head
    The Blessed Virgin at my feet
    And the Twelve Apostles round my bed
    When I am fast asleep
