But the friends of this man of Devises
Didn’t care for these little surprises
So without more ado
At the joker they flew
And gave him two lovely black eyes-es!
[See yesterday’s limerick.]

There was an old man of Devises
Who gave his friends little surprises
Like the one in the sketch
While the heartless old wretch
Would shriek with delight at their cries-es
