“LEST WE FORGET.”
A Spring poet sends us the following contribution • With tongue and pen they fought it
out For twenty years and more ; But still the water we’re without, As we were in days of yore. They sent for men of noted fame ; Mestayer came and went ; His bill, I ’spect, came just the
same, But we have no water yet. Some orators talk awful rot 1 Mr M could, pot sit still; The Harbor Board must feel quite hot y
By L ’s fourpenny gallon bill. It still goes on from years to years, Each drives his little quill, While hustling, embryo engineers Keep, the water from the hill. —WAIHIREEEhj
