I went to see the Pantomime this Christmas in our town.
We laughed enough the opening night to bring the theatre down.
The piece was Burleybumbo, the Old Giant, and his Men;
Fairy Starlight, Little Popsey, and the Demon of the Glen.
The Supers were collected from the local talent round,
And for Burleybumbo's servant the Blacksmith, JOHN, they found;
A stalwart varlet was required to carry off his foes
To Burleybumbo Castle, where he ate them as he chose.
His minions, who wore hideous masks, had nothing much to say,
