'The Publican's Alphabet

A is the Alehouse the turnpike to sin
B is the Bottle the liquer is in
C is the Cads in that bar room so merry
D is the Dupes that begins drinking sherry...

....Z is Zig Zag or Drinking Man's Stagger.'

Verse transcribed by M.B.C. (Maggie B. Corcoran) at Harbour St, Tullamore

'Maggie Corcoran is my name
Limerick is my native place
When I am dead and in my grave
And all my bones are rotten
This little book will tell my name
When I am quite forgotten.'
