- Long ago there lived around here a man named Jass Sutton. He was a poet. One day he was down in Kilmore selling fish. A woman came out to him and asked him the price of the fish. She told him that they were too dear.

My fish is dear I know,
They were caught in Kilmore Harbour
But if you are wanting cheaper fish
