    What's the county rhyme?

    Is it possible to put into words how you draw the map?

    why is it not 32 counties or even 26 for that matter?

    We are Munster’s counties fair.
    Cork, Kerry, Limerick Clare,
    Waterford, Tipperary here we are,
    Welcoming you from near and far.

    Leinster is beyond compare,
    Dublin, Wicklow, Carlow, Kildare,
    Wexford, Offaly, Laois, Kilkenny, Longford and Louth are as good as any.
    Meath, Westmeath and that is all. over now to province small.

    Connaught is the smallest oh,
    Galway, Leitrim and Mayo,
    Roscommon, Sligo that’s the lot,
    Just one more verse for you I’ve got.

    We are Ulster’s counties nine,
    Let’s forget the dividing line,
    Donegal, Derry, Antrim, Down, all our counties of renown.
    Armagh, Monaghan and Tyrone, Cavan, Fermanagh now all are known.

    No it's not, but it's easy to remember where the counties are for each province with the rhyme.

    Who cares? If it's not Dublin, I don't see the need to know where it is.

    I got 10/20.

    No, you're just down under now according to your location and everything you remember seems upside down
