“Airs his slush”—to put it mild.
He will tell you how it’s mother—
Yes, the child’s of course not Sykes’—
Was a relative of t’other,
By a natural son of “Mike’s!”
How this “Mike” was Sykes’ father,
And the father himself betwixt
A duke and an earl—or rather,
When the parentage got mixed.
And so on and yet so forth,
