They have seen the fairies beautifully dressed.
But the children of our clergymen, my brothers,
Are “boo-hooing” bitterlee,
They want to see a panto, like the others,
And they want to go in free.
Did you read that parson’s letter—full of sorrow—
Which described these children’s woe?
Did you see who tried publicity to borrow
From that note—not long ago?
’Twas written by a well-known London preacher
