A Suffolk Sportsman, wandering out with his Gun to get what he could,
once brought down a Pigeon.
It was a fine Bird, and he popped it in a Pie and made a hearty Meal of
it.
And then he began to feel most horribly ill in his Stomach.
The Moral is that one should not eat German homers, for Evil
Communications Corrupt Good Digestions.
