A Local Song (continued)
“The Brenanns are not working”
(continued from previous page)Verse 6

Only for a budget,
Which have scandals always full.

By an extra Special Crew,
Of idling, tattling females,
Who have nothing else to do.

And no abler could be found,
If you searched the County Leitrim,
And Cavan all around.

And he murmurs soft and low,
"In hell where do they get the news,
I's give a bob to know."(continues on next page)
