Brown Bull of Cooley – Road Sculpture<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Oh those fools of no schools, all swords and big mouths
\nWho stand as not planned and boast and drunkenly shout
\nIt was real, our god deal, and the alternative well known
\nThat by parley or force the Brown Boar I would own
\nBut fools who speak trouble seek, and it comes to my door
\nAnd my army will meet and defeat it as before
\nSo onward on my word armies to Ulster, man side of man
\nAnd finish the folly that loose lips have began
\nFear not the foe as you go, they have not a time to fight worse
\nAs none can fight day or night due to Macha’s old curse<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
