There was a local poet names J Gallacher. Here is a verse that he made up about some of his neighbours.
"About the Murphy women I mean to let you know
There all on ordinary function,
Where ever they do go.
Some of them are outmouthed
Others want the teeth.
And the all stop at Murphy
with the crooked foot."
