The teaoher, a loßson he taught ; The preacher, a sermon ho praught ; The Btealer, he stole ; The heeler, he hole ; And the soreeoher, he awfully soraught. The long-winded speaker, he spoke ; The poor offioe-seeker, he aoko : The runner, he ran ; The dunner, he dan j And the shrieker, he' horribly shroke. The flyer, to Canada flew ; The buyer, on oredit he bow ; The doer, he did ; The suer, he sid ; And the liar (a fisherman) lew. She writer, this nonsense be wrote ; The fighter (an editor) f ote ; The swimmer, he swam ; The skimmer, he skam ; And the biter was angry and jbote.
