He meant to try another tack,

So his Old Pilot got the sack.

Nay more, one day, in a fierce squall,

He smashed his picture on the wall;

Tore up the papers when they said

He was a little "off his head."

He yelled, in his despotic way,

"Not any Press for me," I say!

"Oh, take that nasty Punch away

I won't have any Punch to-day!"
