Yeah. Here's one:

Jowcko Regen-

il beccos Jowcko wen montant
        persa mbecken mbowren ech,
al-lath le pub destar ys wen
        il sendo dech "ne saz punn lech?
"ta mbowren ech aci destar
         al-lath le pubbe ne tu poz mech!"
"A Mhaystoer Sendae, a to nioch,
        il ke do mi fatoer la lech,
ma mbowren ech aci destar
        potu en eo, ammi il rech!"

Little King Jocko

Little King Jocko came riding,
        on his wee poor nag,
to park before the pub he came
        the old men said "don't you know the law?
"to park thy poor nag here
        before the pub thou may not at all!"
"O Master Gaffer, at thy games,
        who reads to me the law,
to park my poor nag here
        I can for I'm the King!"

Padraic.
