Fish Got To Swim…..
Birds Got To Fly……..
Clonee and the Kerry variety appear to have been cleaned up in the logainm records.
Using signs, advertisements and messages as the inspiration for observation and comment - enlightened and otherwise
Was introduced to a new message on a gravestone last week while taking some pleasant time out at Loch Salach Cemetery in Clonee. Fish Got To Swim….. Birds Got To Fly…….. A variation on ‘A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do…..’ I was intrigued as to Loch Salach which did look like it derived from Dirty Lake but logainm.ie does not appear to mention dirty about the Clonee Lough Salach. The Donegal Loughsallagh does have reference to dirty: as does Loughsallaghclogher in Co Galway – dirty lake of the stoney place. Clonee and the Kerry variety appear to have been cleaned up in the logainm records.

"Fish gotta swim... birds gotta fly..." is a reference to a Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein song called "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man" - it's one of the more famous songs from the musical Showboat. Ava Gardner, Julie London, Ella Fitzgerald etc. all worked their magic with it in their time.

Delighted to have momentarily taken up the educational baton T ;-) Consider it an act of homage to you for all of the interesting things I’ve learned from your blog! Keep on reading those signs….
