Brr !…Brr !…Bang !…Crash …
Hello !
Brr again !
YES!. . . No, I’m not the artist. . . . I’ve been lucky enough, however, to secure one – one who could cope with the task of illustrating ” Saints and Sinners.” Yes, very much the genuine article, complete with velvet coat, baggy Pants, and shaggy hair.. . . That’s the fellah! You’ve probably spotted him stalking his victims in the street. . . .Between us we’ve got together a really stunning collection – all the lads of the village, old and young, grave and gay…Of course you’re in it! . . . A Sinner ?… By all means! What did you expect – a pair of wings and a
halo ? . . . Well, anyway, blame the irresponsible artist! . . .If you want the original sketch you can buy it, nicely coloured, ready to hang up in your billiard room… There’s been nothing as good for years as “Saints and Sinners,” and you’ll want to keep the book until you’re an old, old man. . . . Incidentally, it is being sold in a very good cause. . . . The Plunket Society gets a lift along, too. . . . They’ve taken over the entire publication and are making a big commission in aid of their funds. . . . Too true! – the advertisers responded like one man, all the keenest business intellects are behind this – they know a good thing when they see it. . . . No, there’s no limit to the number you may buy.  With each copy the fair vendor hands you an identity disc. . . . Half a crown is the price. . . . So cash your cheque and deck yourself out like a Zulu Prince. . . . It’s all in a good cause. . . . Cheerio ! . . . See you later !

THE INK SPRITE
I’m full of fight,” quoth the Sprite of the Ink Pot.  “Its my delight to tilt with the feather of a hen, at the multifarious failings of me fellow men – to rend ‘em, and tear ‘em, never praise and never spare ’em, they all get a breeze up at the scraping of me pen.  I’m a bitter little critter, when I start, in this respect I’m quite a credit to me tribe, as Maurice often has said, ‘Ven tings is nice and placid,’ and I pour on the acid, gall and wormwood aren’t in it with my jibe.  Yards of foolscap! – gallons of ink! – gimme a pen and I’ll make you shrink.”

EH?
Beneath the tower, on kerb below,
A worthy donor sighs – Heigh ho!
I wonder if the public know
That only several years ago,
With modest mien and little show,
I gave these chimes – ?

These chimes that mark the fleeting hours,
Announce the time to clear the bars,
And herald in the cinemas –
That call the populace to tea,
And set the bankers on the spree
Precisely at the hour of three –
Oh, do they ever think of me,
I wonder?

My gift forgotten – unextolled –
High time the story was re-tolled.

At dead of night,

With watchful eye
I ofttimes pry
On am’rous Bill and Kitty;
Or deal out biffs
To sozzled stiffs
Who doubt that I am gritty.
Let burglars brag,
They’ll strike a snag
When I get on their track, sir.
The only thing that gets my goat
Is the Sergeant’s frightful slack, sir!
