DOWN YOUR THROAT
The Rev. Edward Cannon, one of Theodore Hook's witty associates, wrote the following piece of unparalleled nonsense:— If down his throat a man should choose, In fun, to jump or slide, He'd scrape his shoes against his teeth Before he went inside. Or if his teeth were lost or gone. And not a stump to scrape upon, He'd see at once how very pat His tongue lay there by way of mat. And he would wipe his feet on that.
