My dear Daily MailB
To day you attainC
Your th numberD
Which for the sake of talkingE
We will call your JubileeF
CongratulationsG
My dear Daily MailB
CongratulationsG
There are people in the worldH
WhoI
In the time of your infancyF
Gave you the usual three monthsJ
Most new papersK
Get three months on the day of their birthL
For at the sight of a new sheetM
Your wise man invariably taps his noseN
Looks even wiser than is his wontO
And saysP
My dear SirD
I give itQ
Three monthsJ
WellR
My dear Daily MailB
You have survived the sentence of the wiseS
And I am given to understandT
That you have long been a tremendous propertyF
Once againU
CongratulationsG
BUTV
These buts are fearful thingsW
Are they notX
ButV
Pray excuse me if I appear to say but againU
ButV
Well you know what I mean don't youI
Let me put it this wayY
When I come to town of a morningE
Per 'bus or Potromelitan RailwayY
As the case may beF
What do I seeF
Not to put too fine a point upon itQ
I see a row of silk or straw hatsZ
According to the state of the weatherD
And I see a rowA2
Of choice trouseringsZ
And between the hats and the trouseringsZ
There is spreadB2
A row of rustling morning papersZ
I can tell you the names of those papersZ
With my eyes shutV
Five out of six of them is calledC2
The Daily MailB
This upsets meF
It is all right for you of courseZ
But it distresses meF
And I do not like being distressedD2
Now why does it distress meF
Shall I tell youI
Are you sure that you could bear the blowA2
Can you pull yourself together for a momentE2
Very well thenU
You distress meF
BecauseZ
The price of you is one halfpennyU
I am of opinionU
That in the present condition of the general purseZ
Things which are sold for a halfpennyU
Are really too cheapF2
I will give you my reasons some other dayY
MeanwhileG2
To take your own caseZ
When I look into your pagesZ
Which is seldomH2
What do I findI2
I will be frank for the second timeJ2
And tell youI
I findI2
My dear Daily MailB
Ha'pennynessZ
Writ in every line of youI
From the front page Personal ColumnH2
With its Massa me nebber leab youI
While you keep So and So's toffee aboutK2
To the last lineU
Of your astonishing Magazine pageL2
You areM2
Ha'pennynessZ
Ha'pennynessZ
Ha'pennynessZ
Ha'pennynessZ
Ha'pennynessZ
Ha'pennynessZ
All the timeJ2
Of course there is no harm in thatN2
EspeciallyF
As you get the ha'penniesZ
And far be it from meF
To contemn you for itQ
On the other handT
As I have remarked previouslyF
I do not like itQ
I have no advice to offer youI
InasmuchO2
As I do not see how you can help yourselfP2
But I shall ask you kindly to noteQ2
That the congratulationsZ
Expressed at the beginning of this poemH2
Bear reference to your attainment of your th numberD
And notX
To another matterD
WhichR2
While you certainly have the right upon your sideS2
You appear to me to be conductingE

HA'PENNYF
