I had an Irish chicken
in France, found her on
the road at Killavullen,
near Mallow close to the
Cognac Brandy family
ancestral home, which
is called Bally Mac Moy.

Had it been a ****, I
would have christened
him " Mac Poule ".
I was driving from
Mallow, in Ireland,
to France via Wexford.
For a change, I went
by the river Blackwater
which passes as the foot
of Bally Mac Moy house.
There was a hen on the road,
and sure, why no bag her and
take her to France, I thought.
What was odd, I went via
Bordeaux, passed by Cognac
where Hennessy (the Irish family)
have a distillery. Can you imagine,
if I went in and met Frederique,
Bonjour Monsieur, J'ai trouve votre
poule proche Le Pont de Killavullen!
