ORIGINAL VERSE.
BEWARE, AGITATORS! (Part 11., with apologies to F.J.C.) Near Okato town there lives a man— A mnn of great renown; He's going to help build freezing works Close to New Plymouth town. "Of strikes there never will be one," Saith this man of great renown. For he's prepared to take his gun And shoot all agitators down! A rifle he already has, You can see with just a look, Tt was bought by his ancestors, About the days of Captain Cook. This riflo is a beauty, It is sighted very fine, Will kill right up to twenty yards Anything that gets in line. When firing this great rifle His head he holds askew. He's not sure which end the bullet leaves Or what mischief it may do. This man is training very hardTraining night and day— As guardian of the freezing works; xa!l agitators he will slay. So beware, yo agitators! And e'er ye mischief make, Inspect this awful weapon Before it is too late!
For if the guardian o: the works Should discharge this mighty gun, All agitators in the way Will be bound for kingdom come! —Guardian of the Poaee,
