There was a young girl from County Cork
was rumored six times with Sean O’Rourke
She was a strong Philly,
seduced his poor Willy
then delivered twin pickles, the stork.
…
You’ve shot a respectable Birdie
Applauded the sweet crone, Miss Purdy
Your score is quite good,
But you’ve misunderstood
Save it, tweets now loud, proud, and flirty.
..
In Galway city at Kelly Greens
Lives a bonnie lass we’ve named Paulene
She has a soft shoulder
It couldn’t be colder
Lads, steer clear of her critical stream.
