HOLY WELLS

Clinton Scollard

At Toberaribba, Sooth, what do you think, ‘ T is not holy water They go for to drink!

At Tobernanavin, As sure as you‘ re born, There‘ s dancing and prancing And juice of the corn!

At Tobernacerta, They sport on the green; There‘ s laughing and chaffing, And lots of poteen!

At Tobernaglashy, With moss at the brink, There‘ s much holy water, But not for to drink!
