    McCarron in the corner drew on a long face
    Muise Father says Charlie there's nothing like pace
    To gather up your old fragments
    And we'll value them now
    And we'll soon end the talk about the hairy old sow.

    But be cripes says McCarron to a case for the crown
    The two arbitrators they had to disperse
    And they left the whole thing in a terrible mess.
