A POSTSCRIPT.
(Suggested by a later list of L. & N.W.R. stations which have been closed.)
A further list of closured stations
Elicits further protestations.
Blank desolation, grim and stark,
Broods sadly o'er Carpenders Park,
And Friezland, as perhaps is meet,
Is suffering badly from cold feet.
The population of Rhosneigr
Is raging like a wounded tiger;
And those who used to book at Llong
Are using language, loud and strong,
While residents around Chalk Farm
Are filled with anguish and alarm.
N.B. In our anterior lay
One letter somehow went astray;
We therefore now apologise;
'Tis Aspley, and not Apsley, Guise.
From an article on "Greece and Belgium":—
"King Tino has a black record of blood and treachery to answer, and to compare his case with that of King Leopold is the blackest outrage of all."—Star.
Personally we think that it were blacker still to compare his case with that of KING ALBERT.
"HI! BILL! DON'T COME DOWN THIS LADDER. I'VE TOOK IT AWAY."
