TO THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT AT "WELLINGTON.
Your cannibals came safe to hand, Most humbly we thank ye ; For quid sake dinna come yoursels, For brawly we can want ye. Of murderers the pick and wale, Ye could'na sent sent us better, Sac ye may send us mony mair As sune's ye get this letter. Dunedin Gaol may now compare With the infernal regions : "We only want the Diel himsel, For we have got his legions. Sac ye may send the Stafford loon To represent Auld Sootie — Or, what will maybe do as weel, That devil's limb, Te KootL P.S.— We'll feed them up like fighting cocks, And for your sakes we'll keep them, And when they're fat we'll send them back, For cannibals to eat them. Crailgilee. November, 1869.
