KAKARAMEA POETRY.

A meeting was held last Saturday night, At the Kakaramea Hotel, For the due arrangement of an entertainment, And the following is what befel. When irrelevant matter, with a good deal of chatter. At last had been all arranged, Mr M. took (he chair with that dignified air I have seldom seen derang'd. Mr I), limn explain’d he’d have pleasure nnfeign’d, Tn providing refreshments free. Which of course should include every thing good, From muffins to coffee and tea Then a tale ensued with wisdom imbu’d, Each one being wide awake, As to the form, ad valorem. The entertainment should take. Mr M. had pleasure in no sh’ght measure, And he thought ’(.would be shared by all, In proposing (don’t gaze) it should take the shape Of a genuine uppor-erust ball. Then another one mov’d it should bo approved ]>y all at a single glance, That tne (hing-a-my-gorem take a musical form, Winding uj) with a dance. ’Twas put to the vote, and believe it or not, The majority went for tin; hall, So Terpsichore has secured tin; Hour, And Harmony’s sent to the wall. Now there’s bowing and scraping, and mincing and aping, And practising the bends and the turns, And the airs and the graces that obtain i i those plaee.s, Whcer halls arc of frequent occurrenceThere’s slud'Hing and striding, pirouetting and gliding, Securing of cambric and scent, Looking up hoots, and furnishing scats To celebrate the event. PUCK. [Surely the author of the above is entitled tn a free ticket arid a leather medal. Wc commend the above suggestion to the committee.]
