- A shoe maker named Carroll lived in the townland of Longfield. He got an order for a pair of boots from a farmer named Pat Brady Drung who was a local poet. The order was in poetry & Micky referred to in poem was Pats brother. Reference is made to grease & it appears at that time butter was used in place of polish & was believed to be a protection against damp feet.
The Order.
Dear Mr Carroll I hope you will attend
To these few lines I'm going to pen
A pair of boots I want with speed
of which I'm surely in great need.
My measure I took no need to send
on Mickys last you may depend.
They fit full well from heel to toe
Although the ramps are somewhat low.
Make the quarter high to hide my hacks
And pave the toes with the nicest tacks.
As for polish they would demolish
not so much it would be foolish
For you know last summer butter was dear(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)- Bailitheoir
