"Upalion" was a citizen Of very small renown;

For he was one of Granny's mes, Iz est an awful clown."

He used to write the " Sporting Notes" (So-called) for the Daily Press: Though we've known lots of blily-goats That would have bangled less. But if there ever was a kid Who could do more to ver His readers than "Upallon” did, It only could be "X."

For nobody could tell which one Of them was worse than Pother, To all appearance, "Upsilon" Must have been "X's" brothér. (Before we've any farther gone Here is a point to smile on :- The man himself says "Up Ceylon" When he ought to say "U-psellon.") But as above remarked, these two Were awful asses, truly; Who they were really no one knew Unless the Office Coolle.
