Food thus spoilt becomes sin,"
Exclaimed Flanagan John, with a ravenous grin;
"For, believe when I say,
Scarce a toothful to-day
I have eat, that I honour to all things might pay.
I now too feel quite sinking,
While I cannot help thinking
They've mistook the day." He continued by winking;
When his speech was cut short by a loud joyful shout
From young Patrick O'Neal, who had kept the look-out.
