WAIUKU JINGLES.

♦ The following lints come from Waiuku, and were passed on to the office Critic for consideration. COWS IN THE STREET. (Time, 4.30 p.m.) Cows to the right of me, bulls to thd left of me, flow "can" 1 cross this street? Such is the wail of the lady from town, -Whom we'd gone to the Weka to meet. Says the Critic: " The last .line had the most difficult job possible and only just managed to stagger Into print." MEDLEY ON WAIUKU BRIDGE. I stood on the bridge at Waiuku, And I wished that the tide were higher, As I sniffed, and I gazed at that beautiful bridge An 4 whistled my puppy Maria. *' Come hither, come hither, my little f'oggie, And da net tremble so; You'll r.ot fall thro', ahho' 'tis true Twas built many years aso. "Now come along, my little dog, Ard don't explore thuse h:.les; For should you scratch a; other onel'd get hauled over th2 coals! "We'd better make track 3, Maria," I said, "This bridge is none too strorg"— For I saw a waggon, three men and a dog, And Eume bullocks come strolling along. Then boys and girls come out to playThey've promised to build a r.ew one s.;me day. Then firnurs great and farmers small Can travel in S3fety, one and all. Says the Critic: "The contribution is net within measurable distance of being even passable rhyme, but if it is necessary to emphasise the badness if the bridge, print it."
