“When I'm a man I'll be a butcher, if I can.”
124
When I'm a man,
I'll be a butcher, If I can ;
I'll chop and skin and wield the axe
Like minister who needs more tax.
With brawn, not brains, I'll make the dibs.
While college men can count their ribs.
I'll stake my neck, Ill be unique.
In this my cuts you'll gladly seek.By Clanwilliam

When I'm a man
I'll be a teacher, If I can
I'll slave like one to hardship born
For wage a scavenger would scorn
A Gaelic State restore, mar dheadh
With cuts to strengthen my eclat.
To love of learning low I bow
One ancient pride - Oh boy and How. (no title)
