"THINKS I TO MYSELF," ETC.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,— Behold a new poet has arisen near Pa terangi, who sings the piaii.es of a local J.P. in mWed metre. His st\le is unique, 11 Think-, Ito myself thinks I." We have reason to feel pioud of his first attempt ; his friends should lose no time to secure him the position of Poet Laureate. It is expected that his next production will be, " How to make your neighbour grub hib furze." It is to be regretted that such brilliant genius is not lewaided by a paternal Government in some shape— an honouuy appointment, " I thinks," would not be lefused. — I am, &c, Cockatoo.
