Made him chuckle, and dance, and yell;
And he sent a sixpenny wire to hell,
“Enlarge the infernal regions.”
He heard some sailors, in Ratcliff Highway,
“Rule Britannia” bawling;
And his tail with pleasure began to wag,
For he loved this bit of blasphemous brag,
And joined in the caterwauling.
He called at the School Board, and gave the big D.
A nice little bit of soft solder.
