Folklore.
Local Poets.
There are not many poets in my district. There was one the name of John Burns who made many poets.
There is a poet in the townland of Lahard. He made a poem about Lough Oughter castle. He also made a poem about Drumgoon, the name of it is "Lovely Sweet Drumgoon" The first verse is -
