In South Africa in under age swimming one of the best
And never found to be wanting when put to the test
Conor Moynihan the son of Neil from near the Town of Millstreet
Against the best in the World may well yet compete
Due to his father's birthplace in Duhallow's green countryside
The people of Millstreet in Conor's achievements feel a sense of pride
Millstreet for even a parental connection to a champion swimmer as a place was previously unknown
One reason many there feel proud to claim Conor as one of their own
Great stories of Conor may yet be written and told
But sadly it will be for South Africa and not Ireland if he does win Olympic Gold
But the Irish their connection to winners like all others too celebrate
And so too it will be when young Conor his own history will create
It can be said of Conor that he has time on his side
And in swimming he may yet become famed Worldwide
To far greater things as a swimmer already on his way
In time he may not be distant from his glory day
His father Neil into a young man did grow
Near where old Finnow towards the Blackwaater flow
It is true everything comes to those who does wait
And so too it will be with Conor if with swimming he keeps faith.
