    from Higgins to Blighs
    But when I came to Kearneys
    I found a big surprise
    On Tuesday morning early
    I started operating
    I filled the boiler to the brim
    and found it was a failure
    Firt I gave to flour and then
    I gave it bran
    But when I found it was a failure
    I sent for Gilbert's man
    Next mornign early a taxie
    did appear
    Stand wide boys said Larry
    Here is the engineer.
    Told by Patrick Newman, Wood, Kildalkey.
