The colonel thought this very cruel,
Took cold in his head,
And before going to bed
Put his feet in hot water, supped gruel,
Packed up the next morning and fled.
Said Bull to Theebaw, “I’m disgusted;
If my delegates are
Thus exposed to catarrh,
With a colonel you shall not be trusted.”
Whereto Theebaw answered with “Yah-r!”
