ANOTHER ODD SIGN.[508]

At Wold Newton, near Bridlington, there is a public-house with the sign

of a crooked billet, and the following lines on an angular board:--

_First side_

When this comical stick grew in the wood

Our ALE was fresh and very good,

Step in and taste, O do make haste,

For if you don’t ’twill surely waste.

_Second side._

When you have view’d the other side,

Come read this too before you ride;

And now to end we’ll let it pass,

Step in, kind friends, and take a GLASS.

_Bridlington._
