His favourite topics Collingwood and Australian rules footballAnd he think that Australia is the greatest Land of all.The man from Ballydesmond for distant fields doesn’t pineWith his dog on the beach at Shoreham he jogs in the sunshineYou ask him of Duhallow he only smile and sayA lot of rain and frost and snow before…
