Finnerty and Fogherty

met Hudson and Cookson

riding on their Tandem

two miles East of Annascaul.


Hudson and Cookson

wore no clothes at all,

startled to see,two men

sitting on a wall.


Giggling an Peddling, past

onto the brow of a hill

they came upon an old man

who pretended to be ill.


Alighting from their Tandem

they rushed onto his side

he pulled out his wallet

and asked them for a ride.


Shocked and Mortified,

the girls began to Chide

He replaced his bulging Folder

He began to cry

'' I  haven' t  rode a Tandem ''

since I was a wee little boy.
