Bucks and nyeucks read books in nooks
\nOf history, language and culture told
\nLewd jokes, vetted new comrades in diviment
\nFor adventures to come original and bold.
\nFrom defacing headstones, to pulling pranks
\nCondemned by clergy from pulpit high
\nThese boys who did not exist were tradition old
\nThe trials of Ireland being the reason why
\nSocieties shadow existed and did not exist
\nEnforcing unwritten laws and social taboos that stem
\nRooted in the sin of pride aimed to prevent sin
\nCondemned by the clergy that condemned them.<\/p>\n
