With the burden “Tax once more!”

Punch, November 22, 1884.


The Ravenous Bull and the Bicycle.
(With Apologies.)

My name is William Rory, and I’m going to tell a story,

Tell the story of an accident I’ve never told before.

How when coming home from Dover I felt myself in clover,

And I will say, moreover, that my feet were rather sore;

The landlord said, “You’ll rue it,”

But I said, “I mean to do it.” But I’ll do it nevermore.
