APRIL.

April! All Fools' Day's a proper time.

Cop old gurls and guy old buffers prime.

Scissors! don't they goggle and look blue

When you land them with a regular "do"?

Lor! the world would not be worth a mivvey

If there warn't no fools to cheek and chivy.

Then comes Easter. Got some coin in 'and,

Trot a bonnet out and do the grand.

Fan all flounce and flower; fellows mad

Heye us henvious; nuts to me, my lad.

'Ampstead! 'Ampton! Which is it to be?

Fan--no flat--prefers the Crystal P.

Nobby togs, high jinks, and lots o' lotion,

That's the style to go it, I've a notion!
