  1. A Funny Story

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time there was a priest gathering money and Larry Dillon was in the crowd and he said to Larry -
    "Come up here Larry Dillon,
    And lay down your shilling,
    You never were punctual
    nor you never were willing"
    "Oh! your reverence! you so often call
    I'm afraid you will leave no shilling
    In the parish at all".
