THE PENGUIN'S BRIDE

''Twas on the Saucy Soup Tureen,

That Sam was foremast hand,

When on the quarter-deck was seen

A maiding fit to be a Queen

With her old Uncle stand.

'And Sam at once was sunk all

In passion deep and grand,

But this here aged Uncle

He was the Hearl of Buncle

And Sam a foremast hand.

'And Sam he chewed salt junk all

Day with grief forlorn,

Because the Hearl of Buncle,

The lovely maiding's Uncle,

Regarded him with scorn.

'When sailin' by Barbado,

The Saucy Soup Tureen,
