GERMAN SAUSAGE AND LAGER BEER

[By The Snake in Sydney Bulletin]

The Devil sat and stroked his tail, And listened to the howl and wail, "By Eden's Snake," he said at!last, " Hell's business is growing fast. We haven't got a grid to spare, Although on some I've packed a pair. Nine months ago things were so slow[ I nearly let the license go; But now, the way trade's pouring in— Great Sulphur! What an awful din !" Just then the chef dashed thro' the door And cast himself upon the floor: " Great Lots of Flame and Sheol's Hob, I must resign—l chuck the job. You hear those cursing souls without ? Just mark their furious yell and shout, ' They're there in tens of thou'nde— more ! Each day arrives a-thousand score I And, though I've tried by day and night To satisfy their appetite With roast and grill and boiled and— wel Most everything we've got in Hell, They growl like dogs, dear lord, and so Give me my wage and let me go. No cook could stand .the strain so long;. '/I However healthy he and'strong, f When endless lines of waiters crowd And clamor ceaselessly and'loud. Three times a day but this I-hear i Hi! Sausage one and lager b'/er !"
