Ranganna Rince Thosaigh ranganna rince Sa scoil againne inné... Uair a chloig Dé Céadaoin Leis an múinteor Bríd Nic Aodha. Ach beidh obair aici cinnte Chonaic mé na leaids ag léim. Bheadh steip níos fearr ag coinín Ag foghlaim cúpla céim. Tá duine ar nós lachan, Beirt nó triúr ag preab mar fhrog. Má mhúineann sí aon damhs' dúinn Beidh sí spíonta, tuirseach, lag. Tá na cailíní níos measa Le 'Michael Jackson' agus 'Bad' Ach beidh mise i mo pheata - Fuair mé ceacht nó dhó ó Dhaid. Marbh ag tae agus marbh... Bhí cat beag álainn ag Mamó ach cailleadh í le tinneas ní ólfadh sí aon bhainne ach shlogfadh sí an Guinness.
