    Cont.
    And the young ducks they all gathered round her
    "Arrest them," said Joan on the spot
    And some of them from laughing they fell on the table
    While others with shame they did run
    their case to explain were not able.
    NOTE "Fun! Feen!" is a call to duck when giving them food.

    On the Night of the Big Wind ? a house was knocked down in Cullen. A few days after a "poet" named Hennessy was passing through and he said:-
    "I'm sorry for your sad downfall
    Your scattered thatch and battered wall
    By the force of storm you got the rout
    And your inside beauty was turned out."

    DRINKING SONG
    Put porter into a pewter pint
    Put cider into a can
    Put barley (whiskey) into a jug or glass
    And it is the brightest dram
    CH Whick forilligy ee gee um
    Whick forilligy ee e gee um
    And the barley grain for me.
