with apologies to the author of the
poem, When the Irish Whipped the

at the time of the Boer war;
1t was bloodless shindig,
Yet fierce with bristling words
They hurled the English back and
forth;
The adjectiyes were birds.
Each side showed a stubborn front
And with mulishness did vie
When the Irish whipped the Irish
AT the battle of Three-I.
Ieafney led his mouthy band
Right into Frank Boyle's camp,
While gallant old Kinsella
Called J. Pat Hayes a scamp.
With typewriters and fountain pens
They battled cap and pie
When the Irish licked the Irish

Aroused Dave Rowan's ire.

To mix did seek in vain
He'd deserted from the Central
To join the Three-I train.

And you'll hear the Banshee cry,
When the Irish whipped the Irish
At the battle of Three-I.
But the scrimmage is still waging;
Neither side will give an inch,
And the flag of truce is far away
While the warning factions clinch.
Let us hope that on St Patrick's day
The dove OF peace will fly
When the Irish whip the Irish
At the battle of Three-I
