TIPPLING SALLY.

[SALLY, the Chimpanzee (late of the Zoo), is stated to have "drunk beer daily.">[

Of all the monkeys at the Zoo

There's none like Tippling SALLY.

She was the first who quenched her thirst

Quite al-co-hol-i-cally.

A draught of beer made her not queer,

But seemed her strength to rally.

MORTIMER GRANVILLE well might cheer

Three cheers for Tippling SALLY.

Of all the days within the week

I chiefly favoured one day,

That was the day when children seek

The rapture called "Zoo Sunday."

For then full drest all in my best

I'd go and visit SALLY,

And see her soothe her hairy breast

So al-co-hol-i-cally!

But now no more poor SALLY's tricks

With glee fill girl or boy full;

No mug of beer her soul can cheer,

Nor glass of O-be-joyful!

We yet may see some Chimpanzee

With Drink's temptations dally,

To WILFRID's woe; but no, ah! no!

It won't be Tippling SALLY!
