John Buckley

John Buckley lived in Mushera upon the higher ground A quiet and decent person his nickname 'John The Pound' For the Aubane Gaelic Football Club he played Gaelic Football Back in the nineteen sixties as I can well recall. He never harmed anyone lived in the honest way And respect to his memory his friends and family pay Perhaps in his early seventies and it does seem sad to say That with the dead of Millstreet his remains forever lay. In the famous Aubane colours some great games he did play Till the years too crept up on him and time does tick away A strong and sturdy fellow when he was in his prime But we all do become victims of ageless father time. He will never be seen on the high Mushera road by Mushera Hill again But fond memories of the man he was in the minds of those who knew him will remain One can only hope that from life his was not a painful release He was a decent person and may he rest in peace.
