The Devil’s Billiard Match.
Mr. Peeler was known to be one of the milliards
Who go in for spending their talents on billiards;
And by diligent training,
And careful abstaining
From gin and tobacco, succeeded in gaining
Such skill at a hazard, a cannon, or “pot,”
And was voted so “hot”
When he got “on the spot,”
That no one would play him, not e’en the great Cooker,
