PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.
__


R's for the Russians. I ask you to glance
At the swarms on the gangway, alighting in France.

S was suspected of being a Spy,
But never was able to understand why.

T is a Town which I'm taking as read;
If I'd only a cold I would sneeze it instead.

U is a Uhlan who's taking a toss;
The Kaiser will probably give him a Cross.

V is Von ——— dash, I've forgotten his name,
But he proves that New Zealand was solely to blame.

W stands for a Waiter. Alas!
He has emptied some arsenic into my glass.

X in the little equation that's shown
Is the Crown Price's chance of ascending the throne.

Y is the Youth whom I'm hoping to "cotch;"
While I waved to the troops he collected my watch.

Z is a Zeppelin, right overhead—
Isn't it luck to have something for Z?
