    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

    125
    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.
