That deaf old man
With his hand to his ear—
His hand to hi head stood out like a shell,
Horny and hollow. He said, "I can`t hear,"
He muttered, "Don`t shout,
I can hear very well!"
He mumbled, "I can`t catch a word;
I can`t follow."
Then Jack with a voice like a Protestant bell
Roared—"Particulars! Farmhouse! At
quid a year!"
"I dunno wot place you are talking about."
Said the deaf old man.
Said Jack, "What the Hell!"
But the deaf old man took a pin from his desk, picked
a piece of wool the size of a hen`s egg from his ear,
had a good look at it, decided in its favour and re-
placed it in the aforementioned organ.
