"THE STRAIGHT TIP."
By S. O. Thirstie. Still so gently o'er me stealing, Someonels accents strike the ear: And, to unslaked thirst appealing, • Breathe the magic name of Beer. To no waiter need I bow me Of a tick-denying pub : J'or my f he'll allow me— Is a member of a Club. Take, oh, take, ye thirsty loafers, My undeviating tip 1 , And on member-paid-for sofas Drain the member-paid-for nip. Pay no annual subscription, Fork not out an entrance fee— Nuisances of this description . Someone pays instead of me.
