P. C., X, 36 by HENRY MAXIMILIAN BEERBOHM

First Line: THEN IT'S COLLAR 'IM TIGHT
Last Line: AN' IT'S TRUNCH, TRUNCH, TRUNCHEON DOES THE TRICK.
Subject(s): KIPLING, RUDYARD (1865-1936);

Then it's collar 'im tight,
In the name o' the Lawd!
'Ustle 'im, shake 'im till 'e's sick,
Wot, 'e @3would@1, would 'e? Well,
Then yer've got ter give 'im 'Ell,
An' it's trunch, trunch, truncheon does the trick.
