            Verse transcribed by Internee 1537, D Company, Hut 31, Patrick J. Daly (Tullamore, Offaly):

            'Lloyd George no doubt when his life ebbs out
            Will ride in a fiery chariot
            He will sit in state on a red hot plate
            'Twixt the Devil and Judas Iscariot
            Annanias that day to the Devil will say
            My Presidency here has failed
            So move up higher
            Away from the fire
            And make room for the liar from Wales.'

            Verse by Mícheál Ó Baoghaláin (Meath):

            'Wherever the forces of crown assemble
            Whether on land, or sea, or the air
            Strike them down O Lord
            Strike them down
            And may their bones be ground into manure
            And spread over the land to grow crops for the poor.'

            Verse from Internee No 832, James Donegan, No 9 Tent B Company:

            'O would the God above
            Send down a dove with wings as sharp as razors
            To cut the throat of those English dogs,
            That shot our Irish leaders'

            Also a joke from Thomas McGivinchy: 'Happy is the man who sits on a wasp's nest, for he shall rise again.'

            Quote from Thomas Davis transcribed by Laurence Hayden (Roscommon), Rath Camp:

            'Ireland's Wants: To get her peasants into snug homesteads, with wee tilled fields and placid hearths. To develop the ingenuity of her artists, and the docile industry of her artisans. To make for her own instruction a literature wherein our climate, history and passions shall breathe again - conscious strength and integrity and the high post of holy freedoom - these are Ireland's wants.'
