    Growing up in Kerry, but now out of the country for decades, I heard these rhymes as a young lad. Are they still well known and passed on to kids nowadays?

    Tom, Tom, the Piper's son, shtole a bread and away he rran......
    Horsey, horsey, giddley up, horsey, horsey, Hoe......
    She'd in dance, dance, dance, She'd in dance all day........

    Also, has the Kerry accent changed, with the increase of media influence, both nationally and internationally?

    While Kerry is affectionately known as the Kingdom I didn't realise we had been up graded from a county to a country.

    Yes the accent has now completely changed to an eastern european one as one would expect it to.
