"And so should I, in such a case!

There's nothing feels so like disgrace,

Or gives you such a scurvy look—

A kick and pail of slush from Cook,

Clefsticks, or Kettle, all in one,

As standing to a missing gun!

It's whirr! and bang! and off you bound,

To catch your bird before the ground:

But no—a pump and ginger pop

As soon would get a bird to drop!
