It seems I haven't signed my name to bits of doggerel verse My accuser signs his full name, which, is "Mac.".

He procured some of my finger prints, took out his microscope And discovered something everybody know.

He charges me with sheltering behind Initials F.T.Š. And the pot proceeds to call the kettle black- He would scorn to be anonymous when writing to the Press So he "comes out in the daylight" and pigns "Mac.".

He puts me through the hoop in language most virile This champion of Aussies in distress

My hame he says he's known for quite a little while His, this sportsman's leaving me to guess.

Brother; Scripture tells us you should remove the mighty beam From your eye, before you see the mote in mine If F.T.S. Initials are not really what they seem Well, "Mac" as a description's very fine.

The remarks I know it all-in his charming little verse No, No. Some knowledge still I lack

But what I do not know, I'll inform the universe: Can't be taught me by that "dinkum Cobber Mac."
