Gillian Gilbourne Poem by Francis Duggan

Blond, tall slim and elegant beauty in her does glow
As a woman of fashion her reputation does grow
In Ireland she has won first prize at many a race meeting and show
In Irish fashion circles the woman everyone does seem to know

Gillian Gilbourne a young mother in fashion to none second best
On so many gala occasions in Ireland voted the best dressed
With a great sense of dress to go with her beautiful figure and face
Among Ireland's fashion elite she commands pride of place

In the high countryside above Millstreet Town at Tooreenbawn
On view of Mushera mountain she lived many a dawn
As a glamorous lady of fashion she is now widely known
The Fashion World now may claim her but she remains Millstreet's own

To the fashion fans of Ireland it comes as a surprise
If at a show or race meeting she attends she does not win first prize
At the recent Charleville show another best dressed lady win to her name
In Tooreenbawn on view of Mushera she took her first steps to fame.
