All my life
I've been on the beg
I have a bad
old back
And a swollen
up leg
My home is a
sack
My torn duffle
coat
Makes me look
dirty
They throw me
an oat
Sometimes the
odd pirty
A few pennies
here
A few pennies
there
The trumpet
I play
On a hay stack
I lay
Morning ahead
Another dull
day
With my small
brown sack
I'm now on my
way.

Halloween
is here again.
I cannot wait
to see all
the children
get dressed up and
jump about with
glee.
We all get nuts
and apples,
and cake and
much, much, more
and then we
go around houses,
knocking on
peoples doors.
I think Halloween
is very cool because,
we get holidays,
from our school.
I look across
the field in delight.
I stare at you
as you run in flight.
Your long thin
legs and
Your snow white
nose.
You look like
a prince-
What a wonderful
sight.
You seem so
happy and content
As you chew
at grass
From morning
to night.
Moville is
in need of repair
I thought I
heard them say
So they brought
in some diggers
And started
right away.
First of all
they dug a hole
And then they
filled it in
Then they came
back the next day
And dug it up
again.
I saw a man down
in the hole
So I asked him
one day
Why they keep
on digging holes
and filling
them with clay.
They said it's
all the Masters fault
One day he was
in Moville
He lost a pound
somewhere in the square
And they are
looking for it still.

Two brown
eyes I love to see,
Looking straight
up at me
He pulls on
his lead,
When he feels
the need
For a walk in
the park
Before it gets
dark.
Long shaggy hair,
Without a care
Trotting along,
with an odd little bark
With a little
bit of fuss
It is certainly
a must
To stop for
a sweet
To give my Rudy
a special little treat.

In 1912,
the ship called
Titanic,
set sail from
Southampton,
and never returned.
II
A mighty ship,
the ship of
dreams,
the greatest
wealth,
could be seen.
III
They ignored
the warnings,
and sailed faster
towards morning,
and never did
reach,
New York.
IV
The first class
survived,
the second class
did try,
and the third
class died,
a horrible death.
V
And now it's
just a memory,
in the minds
of those survivors,
who had seen
their fellow passengers,
brave the cold
Atlantic sea.

The White Star's
liner, Titanic
the greatest
ship I ever saw.
the world's
largest ocean liner.
I gazed at her
in awe.
I boarded her
in Queenstown
near to the
town of Cork.
and so began
my voyage
to the city
of New York.
More than a thousand
people
were traveling
on the ship,
many down below
decks
were making
their first trip.
All of us excited,
men, women,
husband, wife
as we sped on
to the New World,
there to make
our own life.
We laughed and
sang,
we didn't know
what fate had in store,
the Great ship
sped on through the night
and down on
an iceberg bore.
It tore her side,
it made a gash
as quick as
we could blink,
and in a very
short time
the Titantic
began to sink.
Soon women and
children left the ship
amid a lot of
screams and fuss,
but when we
fought our way on deck
there were no
boats for us.
And as the ship
began to die
and sink into
the deep
there's nothing
left for us to do
but say our
prayers and weep.

The sea was calm,
the sky was bright,
As the "Titanic"
headed west,
The Captain
called to the engine room,
The owners want
to see her best.
Then the man
on watch gave a shout,
"Theres and
ice-berg dead ahead,"
But none on
board did ever think,
That this disaster
lay ahead.
With a mighty
crash on her starboard side,
The ice tore
away her steel,
An officer said
to the helmsman,
"Go to starboard
with the wheel."
Some time had
passed, then the whistle blast,
It was time
to abandon ship,
The Captain
said to a young sailor boy,
"Its a hell
of a way to end the ship."
