TOOTING.

["It is a noteworthy fact that while debates have been languishing at Westminster, at Tooting there have been Members enough to 'make a House' any day during the past fortnight, so keen an interest is the 'Royal and Ancient' game exciting."—Daily Telegraph.]

What's the use of hooting.

Or cir-cum-lo-cuting?

M.P.'s off

To play at Golf.

All the way to Tooting!

Petty points PAT's mooting!

Chances not computing,

M.P. slips,

(Despite the Whips)

Off to Golf at Tooting!

Landlords may be looting,

Tenants may be shooting;

Where's the fun

In that? Let's run

Off to Golf at Tooting!

So M.P.'s are "scooting,"

On-the-gay-galoot-ing;

Cut the House

(It shows their nous)

For the Links at Tooting!

There is joy in shooting,

Wine-ing or cherooting,

Dinners, Moors,

Weeds—all are bores,

Compared with Golf at Tooting!
