The Only Person Here From Millstreet

In Koroit in South West Victoria a Duhallow person i have yet to meet
Perhaps i am the only person here from Millstreet
Though many Koroitians can lay claim to Irish ancestry they do not play Hurling or Gaelic Football
Here the games they mostly play are A F L, Cricket, Lawn Bowls and Netball
In Koroit i have yet to meet a Hurler or Gaelic Football player
In South West Victoria such people are rarer than rare
On the National games of Ireland most Koroitians little if any interest at all do show
Of the main field games of Ireland not much they do seem to know
In Duhallow where i lived for many a day
A F L or Cricket are games they do not play
It seems the people of Duhallow and South West Victoria in their sporting preferences little do share
And field games are popular in almost every Country and culture as most are aware
Do not know of anyone here in Koroit from anywhere near to or from Millstreet Town
Where i used to live when my hair was dark brown.
