I wrung a sirloin from thy grudging hand,

Did not thy boy, a cheeky little brute

With shifty eyes, mislay the thing en route,

Depositing at my address the bones

Intended for the dog of Mr. Jones?

I sometimes think that never runs so thin

The milk as when it leaves the milkman's tin;

That every link the sausageman prepares

Harbours some wandering Towser unawares.

And Binns, the baker (whom a murrain seize!),
