THE INEVITABLE.
(As Illustrated by recent Political, Social, and other Public "Functions.")
Say you'd get up an "Inaugural Meeting,"
Anything "forming," or Anyone "greeting,"
If you'd have guests in their tankards their nose bury,
Ruddy with mirth, you must put up Lord Rosebery.
If facts and statistics your minds you will task with,
He must be followed—of course—by young Asquith.
Q.C. and canny Earl, Earl and 'cute Q.C., gents!
There you've your "Popular Programme" in nuce, gents!
