Scope and content
Item consists of one handwritten poem in two pieces. The poem is affixed to the centre panel of a three-panel booklet (PDP10254), with two paintings on either side which illustrate the contents of the poem. Transcript of original text:
*I am a Colonial and have heard the English say
- "Colonials have no manners," your advice then lend me pray
- One day my pathway led me into a lonely wood
- T'was far away but fine the day and good
- And yet your English climate is full of whims and so
- Down poured the rain and I must into shelter go
- I meet another student in the same plight as I
- The nearest refuge that we find is but an old pigsty
- A placid Sow lies sleeping upon the scattered straw
- We enter, and take shelter within the open door
- She shares with us her little pen, hospitable and kind
- For full an hour while lasts the shower
- We warmth and shelter find
- Once more into that wood I wend my lonely way
- Once more comes on a heavy shower from the sty I'm far away
- But today I need not flee my umbrella is with me
- Now while I shelter thus enjoy I hear a grunt close by
- Good Mrs. Sow is waddling past the owner of the sty
- The rain is pouring down her back and dropping from her ears
*And rolling down her fatted cheeks like showers of briny tears - And this is now my question answear Englishman whilt thow?
- "Should I share my umbrella with that fat and soaking sow?"
