The Irish went to New Zealand
in search for gold at Arrow-town
where a river of the same name
glistened with a similar sheen
as one of Shakespeare's caskets
in The Merchant of Venice.

Portia ended up marrying Antonio,
if it had been set in Central Otago
she might well have met a Paddy, but,
not long after they arrived, the precious
metal disappeared.

One of them opened a bakery in
Cromwell, a nearby town called after
Oliver, Irelands most hated Englishman
before Charles Trevelayan.

He named it " Crumbwell's Bakery ".
