Johnston Mooney and O Brien.

Here's is an old Dublin street rhyme that my mother was trying to remember from here school days(1930-".

Johnston Mooney and O Brien is a popular bakery still selling bread today.

Johnston Mooney & O' Brien bought a horse for one an' nine,

When the horse began to kick, Johnston Mooney bought a stick,

When the stick began to break, Johnston Mooney bought a rake,

When the rake began to rust, Johnston Mooney bought a bus,

When the bus began to stop, Johnston Mooney bought a shop

"Looks like there might have been a couple of different versions, probably depending on where you lived, we couldn't afford cakes in Cabra and had to make do with rusty rakes." -vektarman
