Are as wares the wind drives to the shore.'

Verses transcribed by Maggie Corcoran on the subject of public houses:
'Bee Hive Public House
It's in this hive we're all alive
Good liqueur makes us funny.
If you be dry step in and try
The flavour of our honey
Your bees are asps, they sting like wasps
Your liqueur is adulterated and anyone that
resorts this house their misery is completed. '
Verse transcribed by Maggie Corcoran [on the death of her mother].
Drawing by [D. J.] at Tintown Camp, of a rural village. Accompanying verse:

As time will age one's life
But remembrance is a tiny tack
Even thro years of strife.'
