And, if the word "outback" is replaced with "rural", I suspect this one might find acceptance in Ireland, too.

THE LIARS
Henry E Horne

Ten boys sat in a ring and played at telling lies,
An outback pastime, with a strayed young dog for prize.
The Parson they informed, who strolled to see their fun,
The pup was for the cove who told the biggest one.

The good old man looked upon that ring of boys and sighed.
"I'm sorry to hear such thing as this," he cried.
"I never dared to tell a lie, nor even knew
Such sinful sport, my lads, when I was young like you."

Ten faces fell, not from shame, but sheer defeat;
Ten little liars dropped the game, for they were beat.
Ten boys arose – a sullen band – quite broken up;
And Jim, the judge, said, "Billy, hand the bloke the pup."

Cheers, Rowan
