Oh what a fund of joy jocund lies hid in harmless hoaxes	A
What keen enjoyment springs	B
From cheap and simple things	B
What deep delight from sources trite inventive humour coaxes	A
That pain and trouble brew	C
For every one but you	C
Gunpowder placed inside its waist improves a mild Havanah	D
Its unexpected flash	E
Burns eyebrows and moustache	E
When people dine no kind of wine beats ipecacuanha	F
But common sense suggests	G
You keep it for your guests	G
Then naught annoys the organ boys like throwing red hot coppers	H
And much amusement bides	H
In common butter slides	H
And stringy snares across the stairs cause unexpected croppers	H
Coal scuttles recollect	I
Produce the same effect	I
A man possessed	J
Of common sense	H
Need not invest	J
At great expense	H
It does not call	K
For pocket deep	L
These jokes are all	K
Extremely cheap	L
If you commence with eighteenpence it's all you'll have to pay	M
You may command a pleasant and a most instructive day	M
	-
A good spring gun breeds endless fun and makes men jump like rockets	H
And turnip heads on posts	H
Make very decent ghosts	H
Then hornets sting like anything when placed in waist coat pockets	H
Burnt cork and walnut juice	H
Are not without their use	H
No fun compares with easy chairs whose seats are stuffed with needles	H
Live shrimps their patience tax	H
When put down people's backs	H
Surprising too what one can do with fifty fat black beedles	H
And treacle on a chair	N
Will make a Quaker swear	N
Then sharp tin tacks	H
And pocket squirts	H
And cobblers' wax	H
For ladies' skirts	H
And slimy slugs	H
On bedroom floors	H
And water jugs	H
On open doors	H
Prepared with these cheap properties amusing tricks to play	M
Upon a friend a man may spend a most delightful day	M
