St. Enda's church on Aran Mo/r
Once hosted devotees galore
Till the party of Pat
Said "Ard Macha's where it's at
And we are the keepers of lore."
They added to this inj'ry sore
A claim Pat was preaching before
Enda was wailing
Or in curragh sailing
To consecrate Cill Aran Mo/r.
Despite this medieval PR
Which long has been spread near and far,
Enda's church gained its fame
When the other's saint's name
Was yet to become Pat of Ard.
