St. James’s Gazette. November 16, 1885.

——:o:——

Pot and Kettle.

(Some way after Sheridan.)

Smart Churchill, ’cute Chamberlain flouting and slanging,

His speeches compares to a cracked tin-pot clanging.

The mode in which Randy the argument carries on

Suggests to tired hearers another comparison.

For noise and for nuisance the claims who may settle

’Twixt Chamberlain’s pot and Lord Randolph’s old kettle?
