Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJFJKL| I have lived in important places times | A |
| When great events were decided who owned | B |
| That half a rood of rock a no man's land | C |
| Surrounded by our pitchfork armed claims | D |
| I heard the Duffys shouting Damn your soul | E |
| And old McCabe stripped to the waist seen | F |
| Step the plot defying blue cast steel | G |
| Here is the march along these iron stones | H |
| That was the year of the Munich bother Which | I |
| Was more important I inclined | J |
| To lose my faith in Ballyrush and Gortin | F |
| Till Homer's ghost came whispering to my mind | J |
| He said I made the Iliad from such | K |
| A local row Gods make their own importance | L |
