Dear Mr Leno	A
It is now many happy weeks	B
Since I had the pleasure of addressing you	C
On the last occasion you will remember	D
You were fresh from Sandringham	E
With a medal and sundry excellent stories	F
As to the manner in which you had been received	G
By His Majesty the King	H
And the Members of the Royal Family	I
To see them laugh you told us was a treat	J
Since then you have gone about	K
With a diamond E in your cravat	K
And The King's Jester written all over you	C
As I have already stated	K
I do not doubt for a moment	K
That the King really did laugh	L
At Mr Leno	A
I have laughed at him	E
That is to say at Mr Leno myself	M
And I know what it is	N
But to day Mr Leno	A
To day being the st of April	O
It is my turn to laugh	L
And I do so with a right good will	P
For to day Mr Leno	A
Your cup appears to be full	Q
Inasmuch as for this day only	I
You are actually editing a paper	D
Now when a man takes to editing papers	R
All is over with him	E
The next step is	N
Into the unutterable dark	S
I have read your paper Mr Leno	A
And I find that on the whole	T
It has been remarkably well edited	K
That is to say you as Editor	D
And your big co editor	D
Mr Campbell of that ilk	U
Have had the good sense	V
To edit the paper	D
In the only way in which an editor	D
Should edit a paper	D
Namely by leaving it to itself	M
As much as possible	O
If all editors would have the sense	V
To take this wise course	W
Contributors and subordinates generally	I
Would to say the least of it	K
Have a fairly happy life	X
It seems in a way a pity Mr Leno	A
That you should waste yourself	M
Upon an evening paper	D
When there are so many morning papers	R
Requiring Editors	R
The Daily Chronicle for example	O
Would have offered you a fair field	K
For the exercise of your extraordinary abilities	F
Even the Times might for once in a way	Y
Have added lustre to itself	M
By taking on	Z
Your joyous and winning lucubrations	F
Then there is Punch	A2
Which journal I understand	K
Is always and still on the look out	K
For that humour	D
Which somehow never comes its way	Y
But there Mr Leno	A
You have missed your chance	F
And possibly it will not come round again	B2
As you are young in journalism	E
Let me say three things to you	C
Imprimis never be an Editor	D
It is better to be in the ballet	Y
Item always be on either a morning paper or a weekly	I
The all day papers keep one too busy	I
Item if you are an editor only for a day	Y
Be sure to subscribe to the Newspaper Press Fund	K
Otherwise what will your widow do	C
