"Two Sons, who, if the truth was told, Drank much more than they ought'er."


PROBLEM No. 36.

On Lady Day the death occurred
Of Hubert Henry Huckett,
Who fell beneath a brewers' dray
And promptly kicked the bucket.

He left a very charming Wife,
And one enchanting Daughter,
Two Sons, who, if the truth was told,
Drank much more than they ought'er.

His Will was proved and it was found
He'd left as weird collection
Of Stocks and Shares as e'er was known
Within man's recollection.

He'd (£) 60 Bags and 40 Coils
100 Common Can. Pacs.,
And (£) 40 Berthas, 60 Lions
And 42 Brazil Tracs.
