    There was a poet named Patsy Casserly who lived in Ballinahinch. He composed songs about dances, marriages and such things. He lived with his uncle. His neighbours thought him very foolish.
    Another poet named Michael Smyth lived in Blenavoher. Another named Ned Farrell "(solves)" lived in Newtowncashel.
    Matty Connor of Newpark is able to make poetry. He made a song called "The Ambush" about an Ambush which was in the Turlough.
