  1. (continued from previous page)
    This is another poem which he made
    In Tooley street in London town
    Jim Donovans coat was made,
    The tailors all admired the coat,
    When on the table laid.
    II
    It was hung upon a special peg
    Inside beside the door,
    And they said it was a splendid coat
    For a man that keeps a boar.
    III
    When Sluasaide died Jim flushed with pride,
    And said it was all the better,
    For, for his hide he could provide,
    A splendid tie and sweater.
