One had had a Landlord, then there were but seven!

Seven Irish Jurymen sitting in a fix,

One feared the highway shots, and then there were but six!

Six Irish Jurymen in the legal hive,

One knew a murderer, then there were but five!

Five Irish Jurymen springing from the poor,

One of them half-witted, leaving only four!

Four Irish Jurymen wishing to be “fhree,”

One spouted treason, and then there were but three!

Three Irish Jurymen softly whispering “Pooh!”
