THE GAMBLES ARE COMING
YACH week in Britain the results of Soccer ~ Are bigger news than even Lady Docker. Whether a team will lose or draw or win Becomes, when you have filled a coupon in, Indeed a matter of great pith and moment — Writ large by men who know the way to forent What nestles in the bosoms of so many, _The urge to win a fortune with a penny. New Zealand politicians view with smiles The football pools within the British Isles, But when they reach a hand across the sea, Challerige the sacred name of T.A.B., And try to cash in on the local betting — Well then, it leads to departmental fretting. And Mr. Holland may be seeing red 5 It pools rush in where Hobart feared to tread.
