So Few Things In Life

Some great Gaelic players lined out in the green of Millstreet And it also was home to many a great athlete As well as rally drivers who were known and feted far and wide Far beyond the borders of Duhallow's green countryside Some great greyhounds were owned and trained in and near Millstreet Town In tracks throughout Ireland they raced to renown But what used to be is not anymore And in sports in Duhallow nowadays Millstreet not to the fore In life as is said few things ever do last And success does not live on glories of the past The heroes and heroines of decades ago Out of the media limelight since time became their foe So few things in life ever does seem to last And success does not live on glories of the past.
