Cullen's Hound


Sétanta was born, half god half man,

With seven fingers on each of his hands.

Curly hair of a golden hue, 

and piercing eyes of a sharp grey blue.

 

Ol' Cullen's hound got out one day,

Sétanta just happened to be in his way.

The dog attacked with gnashing teeth,

but was killed by Sétanta, quick and neat.

 

The young boy went to Cullen's place,

and told him of his poor dogs fate.

He offered himself as guard of the grounds,

and has since been known as Cullen's Hound.
