(Be Tillygram.)

I sind this bs tillygram bekase I hard vran ay thim Upper House playbeang (furrin) furninst me, whin I was in Bellamy's, talkin' ay dispatchin' ye some news, an' I thought I'd be in afore him. Now darlin' don't shwear at the exshtra wire charges ay we both sind the same new 3. Shure it isn't, no it isn't Shrimmy I'm alludin' to as the im ill say. Me sowl's in arms and aygur fur the fray, as me frind Micky Hines ay Kilrush wanst put it in an arijeenal pome, which he sint to the Cork Examiner, rest his sowl (I mane Micky's), an' its going land lagin' the New Zajlandhers are, an' more power to thim. It accurd this whey (d'ye see the crame ay the joke allaonah): ther was Johnny Tole and Temmy Hishlop, that divil Hamlin, yer frind Cad man, Teddy Mitchelson, the bould Fitz from the Hutt, little Dodgson, Teddy Wakefield, an' a lot ay v«, colonials ivery wan, talkin' over ivints and dishgusthin' the questhon ay the formashun ay a Young New Zayland party, when who shud come in but me frind Pratt, the Mowrie mimbor for the South- Ay coorse Misthet Pratt being a New Zaylander—though betune our two, selves his mother was a Tip'rary woman, bekase his name among his countrymen is Prati, an' that's Irish enough—was allowed to lishten. Well, ravvynongsa nose muttons (that's furrin), we wor formin a lague, an the boys tuk it that they should reshky the counthry ay ther birth from the deshpoiler, an plant the flag ay freedom, an all that beautiful talk, whin Misther Pratt sez,sez he, " Taihoe." " Who the divil's that," sez I, an the man , luk'd bewildhered. "Na Bochlish," aez I in explanation, whin the bould Mowrie was goin' to sind for the sargint to give your humble sarvint in charge for using abusive language. Hishlop sez, "We want New Zayland for the New Zaylandherß." " Kowpie " sez Prati. " Now luk here Misther Prati, or Pratt, or whativer the divil yer name is, I'll sthrinyusly object t'ye callin me frind beefshteak puddin, for the divil a bit ay difference is ther betune that an what ye said, barrin wan's biled." Well, some wan ventured another explanation-, but the party's formed, an I may yet be appinted to a sign a care. More anong.--Yours, Shaun the Post.
