English poem
Iii
by John Stephen Farmer (1854–1916)
The night arrived for trotter-shaking-- To Mother Swankey's snoozing-crib; Each downy cadger was seen taking His bit of muslin, or his rib. Twelve candles vos stuck into turnips, Suspended from the ceiling queer-- Bunn's blaze of triumph was all pickles To this wegetable shandileer. Tol, lol lol, etc.
