JIM THE MILKER.
MADAME SHARKEY WANTS TO DO THE FIJI FIREWALKING ACT, But Dances a Haka Instead. Yer must know that the greatests 1 fraud on- the face of the earth is the parson, can yer tell me -wot good they do ? Im afieared yer cant tell. Now take for instance Jim Gibbs he draws about eight hundred quids a year, and is one of them blokes who are always yelling m the loards garden yea even the good shepherd, yes ithey are good shepherds for they, shear their flock to the skin. Yer can ■ hear the click of their shears any Sunday that you pass a gospel mill. Yes they rob the peopel. Now I Jim the Milker at this, season, of the year <:do herby challenge* Jim Gibs to deliver a sermon let Gibs give up his pulpit to me for one Sunday and see who can draw the largest crowd. I further promise to deliver a better sermon with 1 ten minutes preperation than Jim Gibbs ever did m his life the whole cash taken to go to the pdor. This challenge also applies to Moses North. Yer no that some of. these parsons have whips of money and lend it out at 200 per cent these so-called Christians, they ought to get fifty lashes on the bare back. I raised up the apostle Pawl the other nieftt to ask his opinion on this jab he told me straight that all parsons were human swine why says he to me yer must remember me old friend Peter who used to catch fish on the sea of Gallalee and sold two baracuts fer a bob m Jersulim well he did honest worick so did I making tents but yer modren parson refuses to do anything usefull he skulks round to see menswifes when their husbings are away at their worick. By gum the.v no what is good, let me tell yer. that half the devorce cases m New Zealand are caused by parsons a dirty gang. There is little time to rite but I must tell yer that the bosses wife is well (Madam Sharkey) yer ought have seen her at the exhibition she wanted to walk over the hot stones only was affeard that her clos would take fire and yer can understand she could not walk naked, the law won't allow it to be done. However she 'danced a haka and rubed noses with the principal chefs. My I glord it was effecting to see the most civilized woman falling so eisily into the ways of the cannibals. But decent people always get on well together if the parsons leave them alone. ■ JIM THE MILKER. P. S.— Where can yer find a decent parson ? Please reply through yer pro Bone publico.
