“WERRY FISHY.”
(Air— “ The Devil Amongst the Tailors.”) While Clyde can boast of its Pike, And Cromwell can point toits Gudgeon: You may all talk as you like, But I know where there’s a better ’un. At Tinkers you’ll find a phenomenon That cannot be seen every day, That ’ll take the shine out of some on ’em, Ho matter what any may say. A good deal of fuss has been made To introduce Salmon and Trout; And a great deal of money was paid For transporting the ova about. While boro, almost at our doors— At Tinkers, I mean, without gammon— Is a fish that all others floors, In the shape of a musical Salmon. Now, don't think I mean this in fun, Every word I have said, it is true ; -And if to Tinkers you only will run, The fish there is always on view. V. L. A. Whale,
