Remarks
2. ’Ere you ’ave em hall hinterlurk:
B. looked so earnestly, ’e never blink,
’Ere Ladies and Gents, his a Siamese Brother
Wich ’e is considered hexactly like the hother
And that’s what the name Siamese they owe to:
Says the one, that’s the feller as I am ’is photo.
’Ere you see Methuelah between ’enhencaged,
Hits seldom you ketch ’im not elsewhere hengaged.
’Ere you see Pooh-bah, a real [Daimio]
You can’t see the base-ball as ’es got to throw
Next the Giant’s feet from his body’s eloped;
On ’is lap sits a feller as is telescoped!!!
When the show was done, they all sat & wrangled
How on earth to get their legs disentangled.
