| My dear Daily Mail | B |
| To day you attain | C |
| Your th number | D |
| Which for the sake of talking | E |
| We will call your Jubilee | F |
| Congratulations | G |
| My dear Daily Mail | B |
| Congratulations | G |
| There are people in the world | H |
| Who | I |
| In the time of your infancy | F |
| Gave you the usual three months | J |
| Most new papers | K |
| Get three months on the day of their birth | L |
| For at the sight of a new sheet | M |
| Your wise man invariably taps his nose | N |
| Looks even wiser than is his wont | O |
| And says | P |
| My dear Sir | D |
| I give it | Q |
| Three months | J |
| Well | R |
| My dear Daily Mail | B |
| You have survived the sentence of the wise | S |
| And I am given to understand | T |
| That you have long been a tremendous property | F |
| Once again | U |
| Congratulations | G |
| BUT | V |
| These buts are fearful things | W |
| Are they not | X |
| But | V |
| Pray excuse me if I appear to say but again | U |
| But | V |
| Well you know what I mean don't you | I |
| Let me put it this way | Y |
| When I come to town of a morning | E |
| Per 'bus or Potromelitan Railway | Y |
| As the case may be | F |
| What do I see | F |
| Not to put too fine a point upon it | Q |
| I see a row of silk or straw hats | Z |
| According to the state of the weather | D |
| And I see a row | A2 |
| Of choice trouserings | Z |
| And between the hats and the trouserings | Z |
| There is spread | B2 |
| A row of rustling morning papers | Z |
| I can tell you the names of those papers | Z |
| With my eyes shut | V |
| Five out of six of them is called | C2 |
| The Daily Mail | B |
| This upsets me | F |
| It is all right for you of course | Z |
| But it distresses me | F |
| And I do not like being distressed | D2 |
| Now why does it distress me | F |
| Shall I tell you | I |
| Are you sure that you could bear the blow | A2 |
| Can you pull yourself together for a moment | E2 |
| Very well then | U |
| You distress me | F |
| Because | Z |
| The price of you is one halfpenny | U |
| I am of opinion | U |
| That in the present condition of the general purse | Z |
| Things which are sold for a halfpenny | U |
| Are really too cheap | F2 |
| I will give you my reasons some other day | Y |
| Meanwhile | G2 |
| To take your own case | Z |
| When I look into your pages | Z |
| Which is seldom | H2 |
| What do I find | I2 |
| I will be frank for the second time | J2 |
| And tell you | I |
| I find | I2 |
| My dear Daily Mail | B |
| Ha'pennyness | Z |
| Writ in every line of you | I |
| From the front page Personal Column | H2 |
| With its Massa me nebber leab you | I |
| While you keep So and So's toffee about | K2 |
| To the last line | U |
| Of your astonishing Magazine page | L2 |
| You are | M2 |
| Ha'pennyness | Z |
| Ha'pennyness | Z |
| Ha'pennyness | Z |
| Ha'pennyness | Z |
| Ha'pennyness | Z |
| Ha'pennyness | Z |
| All the time | J2 |
| Of course there is no harm in that | N2 |
| Especially | F |
| As you get the ha'pennies | Z |
| And far be it from me | F |
| To contemn you for it | Q |
| On the other hand | T |
| As I have remarked previously | F |
| I do not like it | Q |
| I have no advice to offer you | I |
| Inasmuch | O2 |
| As I do not see how you can help yourself | P2 |
| But I shall ask you kindly to note | Q2 |
| That the congratulations | Z |
| Expressed at the beginning of this poem | H2 |
| Bear reference to your attainment of your th number | D |
| And not | X |
| To another matter | D |
| Which | R2 |
| While you certainly have the right upon your side | S2 |
| You appear to me to be conducting | E |
| IN | U |
| AN | U |
| UNMITIGATED | T2 |
| HA'PENNY | F |
| WAY | Y |
