YOU REMEMBER WELL,THE DAYS YOU SPELT. OF A LARGE GREEEN PARK, WHERE NEARBY YOU DID DWELL. WHERE YOUNGSTERS AND MEN RUSHED ROUND PELLMELL, PLAYING THE IRISH GAME OF PEIL. TO BE PULLED UP SHORT, BY THE REFFERE'S BELL, OR ORDERED HOME TO SUPPER BY YOUR MOTHER'S YELL!. BLOODIED AND BATTERED YOU LIMPED HOME,TO TELL, OF THE BLAGARD, FROM THE KNELL, WHO KICKED YOU IN THE ANKEL. AND THUS YOU FELL, CRYING OUT TO THE UMPIRE FOWEL! AND THE GAMES GO ON FOR EVER,IN THE PARK BY THE DELL,THE GREEN SHOUTS MICKAEIL!! "PAIRC AN BOTHAR."
