BUMBLEDOM'S BIG OPENING.
Bumble (after reading Dr. T. Orme Duffield's Report to the Vestry of Kensington on the health and sanitary condition of the district), loquitur:—
Oh bother this sanit'ry bosh! Always piping the same dull old strains,
One would think there wos nothink in life to be done but go sniffing the Drains!
Wich my nose is a dalicot one, and I don't like the job, not by lumps;
And I won't be perpetual poked up by these peeping and prying old pumps.
"Bumbledom and Disease!" I like that,—like the Times' dashed himperence, I think.
