MORRISON W• N is for NIGHTINGALE, a rare singing bird, So rare is his song that it's never been heard. 0~- Tommy OSBORNE —a fierce gambler is he, Drew blank in the Derby, then bought The Panther—hee! hee! P stands for PIGGOTT, and oh! ever so many, For their place in this rhyme I'd not give a PENNy. Q—we've no names commencing with Q, So we'll just have to try and MacQUARRIE do. R is for ROBERTS, P.T. of that ilk, Whose deeds gained for him the M.M. piece of silk. S is for STEEL, a young lady of movement, If she'd hurry more slowly 'twould be an improvement. T stands for TREAD AW Ay, in charge up at Brum, And also his brother who of Austria's had some. U is uncommon and must therefore be Us, For we work day and night and ne'er make a fuss. V is for VICTOR, a Churchwarden they say, But who would believe it on any weekday? W for WOODLEy, old "Daddy" he's called,. He is not so ancient, altho' he's so bald. X the Xcitement we all felt—to be brief— When we heard of the honour conferred on our Chief. Y is for yOUNGER, we all wish we were,- The girls say they are, but you know it's hot air. Z is the Zenith of perfection in rhyme, Which, like Peace, we shall reach if we live a long time. PROGRAMME «*» Miss DOROTHY HANSON Songs — " One Fine Day "
