CORNWALL CLUB ON TOUR (to Ireland ) by Penny Lally

A collection of breeders from cornwall
Went visiting over to Eire
To have a bit of a break
In a hotel by a lake
meeting Simmental people over there

Day one, we took a coach to ‘herd Curaheen’
the home of a fellow named ‘ Wall’
his cattle . .outstanding
hospitality.. abounding
we were more than impressed.. one and all

On day two, in the morning ,to ‘ Clonagh’
Young Garrett to make sales was quite keen
T-Rex his stock bull
A terrific eyeful
One of the best bulls we’d ever seen

Then, off to the Brickleys at ‘Celtic’
A warm welcome awaited, with lunch
We saw wonderful cows
And many, many ‘bow-wows’
Which we viewed with delight, this odd bunch

As we sat enjoying one last cuppa
A serious incident took place
Jeff got locked in the loo
Causing quite a ‘to-do’
As the beads of sweat formed on his face

Amongst others, a former police chief
Tried to unpick the lock if they could
Bent over they huddled
They fiddled and struggled
Firmly locked stayed this panel of wood

Said Angela “it’s only a door
We’ve another with which to replace”
After a great deal of chat
Trying this and then that
Of a solution, there seemed little trace

To the rest , this was all most amusing
The plight of poor Jeff really funny
He was then told to “stand back”
With a thump and a crack
To a cheer, out came one ‘ happy bunny’ !!

Then on Saturday morning to Strokestown
For the National finals we’d go
The sunshine was blazing
The cattle amazing
with spectacular calves at the show

The president made us most welcome
We all so enjoyed a grand day.
Keeping clear of all ‘bogs’
We then went to ‘the dogs’
To bet all our euros away

Thanks Eire for our wonderful visit
In the future we’d like to return
For your welcomes so warm
And your great Irish charm
We’ll be back, to look and to learn.
