It came from the prison this morning	A
Close twisted neat lettered and flat	B
It lies the hall doorway adorning	A
A very good style of a mat	B
	-
Prison made how the spirit is moven	C
As we think of its story of dread	D
What wiles of the wicked are woven	C
And spun in its intricate thread	D
	-
The letters are new neat and nobby	E
Suggesting a masterly hand	F
Was it Sikes who half murdered the bobby	E
That put the neat D on the and	G
	-
Some banker found guilty of laches	H
It's always called laches you know	C
Had Holt any hand in those Hs	H
Did Bertrand illumine that O	C
	-
That T has a look of the gallows	H
That A's a triangle I guess	H
Was it one of the Mount Rennie fellows	H
Who twisted the strands of the S	H
	-
Was it made by some highly connected	I
Who is doing his spell on his head	D
Or some wretched woman detected	I
In stealing her children some bread	D
	-
Does it speak of a bitter repentance	H
For the crime that so easily came	J
Of the wearisome length of the sentence	H
Of the sin and the sorrow and shame	J
	-
A mat I should call it a sermon	C
On sin to all sinners addressed	K
It would take a keen judge to determine	C
Whether writer or reader is best	K
	-
Though the doorway be hard as a pavestone	C
I rather would use it than that	B
I'd as soon wipe my boots on a gravestone	C
As I would on that Darlinghurst mat	B
