Wanted (Wasted?) £IO,OOO.
The Yankee fleet We're going to greet; We'll vote ten thousand pounds. Do you demur ? You think we err ? Pray will you state grounds ? We'll'show them our city, our tourist resorts, We'il organise dances, and picnics and sports; . We'll show those heroes, those jolly Jack Tars, Our earth, and our sun,, and our moon, and our stars. We'll show them our racers, our herds ■ and our flocks, And we'll show them', Oh ! no, not our boggy backlocks. And why not ? Because they might lay with a sneer, "Why did you not' spend your ten thousand pounds here ? " —Roadless Rohae Potae. Marton Viator.
