Poetry
“Two pigs are sold and a heifer I'm told. ...”
"Two pigs are sold and a heifer I'm told
To buy some rags of clothes
To the Depot he's sent off
'Till the breastmilk leaves his nose
To barracks he's sent to be content
Where thruppenny loaves are bought.
He looks so grand with a cane in his hand
You'd think he never ate praties and salt.- Collector
