TIPPLING SALLY.

_A SONG OF SORROW ON ZOO SUNDAY._

[SALLY, the Chimpanzee (late of the Zoo), is stated to have
"drunk beer daily."]

Of all the monkeys at the Zoo
There's none like Tippling SALLY.
She was the first who quenched her thirst
Quite al-co-hol-i-cally.
A draught of beer made her not queer,
But seemed her strength to rally.
MORTIMER GRANVILLE well might cheer
Three cheers for Tippling SALLY.

Of all the days within the week
I chiefly favoured one day,
That was the day when children seek
The rapture called "Zoo Sunday."
For then full drest all in my best
I'd go and visit SALLY,
And see her soothe her hairy breast
So al-co-hol-i-cally!

But now no more poor SALLY's tricks
With glee fill girl or boy full;
