No doubt a descendant of Eugene Barrett the Aubane Barretts a famous clan <br />A champion amateur boxer and a very successful young man <br />He is climbing up in the rankings in the sport of the fisticuff <br />And as a young Aubane Barrett he surely will be good enough <br /> <br />In boxing for to go much further and to know of far greater renown <br />Far from the quiet green valleys by Mushera near Millstreet Town <br />Who knows in the not too distant future of his further successes we may read <br />As in Duhallow now it does seem that a new sporting hero they need. <br /> <br />Fair dues to David Barrett a young man who is on the rise <br />To read of his many successes to me comes as no great surprise <br />His clan are the Aubane Barretts and they are known and famed far and wide <br />And they are spoken of far distant from their home in the Aubane Countryside. <br /> <br />In boxing he can go much further if he so yearns for renown <br />And as an Aubane Barrett he will be a hard one to knock down <br />And I know that he will keep on punching till the final bell it will ring <br />And that he will give us some more chances his praises for to write of and sing. <br /> <br />He is one of the Aubane Barretts of that need we say anymore <br />And in the annals of Duhallow we have heard of them often before <br />A descendant of the great one Eugene and he is one who should be good enough <br />And he is one who should not be found wanting even when the going it gets tough.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/david-barrett/
