But my chances of Sport

Are cut terribly short

On St. Grouse's Day in the morning!

With a thundering polthogue,

And the toe of my brogue,

I'd like to kick both of 'em divil knows where!

Sure I broke 'em meself,

And, so long "on the shelf"

They ought to be docile, the dogs of my care.

O'BRIEN mongrel villin,
