Victoria University College. Capping Week May 4th, to May 9th. "Willum the Conk" [1931]
[advert]
There was a gay monarch of Spain,
Who made a quick exit by train.
It gave him a pain
That he could not remain—
And it's plain he would fain reign again.
'Tis said by a chappie called Forbes
That each civil servant absorbs
Far more than he should,
And so for his good
He's had their salaries so reduced that it's about as hard for them to make ends meet as it would be to make this line scan and rime.
