So somehow Joe Podgers don’t go home to bed,

But finds himself lodged in a prison instead.

And oh! oh! oh! doth he chuckle and crow

As he tramps on the treadmill? Oh! no! no!

Fun. March 17, 1869.


“Old Tim the Teetotaller.”

Old Tim the Teetotaller keeps a rare store,

Of black and strong green tea,

Of Souchong—and who can tell how many more,
