Volume 102 — THE GENERAL'S LITTLE FUND.

Reading edition

(See "Times," May 11.)

The General.
The General.

Oh where, oh where is my little wee fund? Oh where, oh where can it be? With the pence cut short and the pounds cut long; Oh where, oh where can it be? I've travelled about with my little wee fund— It used to pay for me; But now it's gone I'm lorn and lone; Oh where, oh where can it be? I want to stump through Switzerland; On the 24th proximo. To Germany, Sweden, Norway, and To Denmark I want to go; I've held out my hat to every flat, And begged over land and sea, Humanity dunned, but I have no fund— Oh where, oh where can it be? If ever you see a stray bawbee Whenever, wherever you roam, Oh, tell him the woe that troubles me so, And say that it keeps me at home. I may mention that what you do, like a shot Must be done to be useful to me; At once send a cheque to save us from wreck, Or the Army will go to the D!

MR. PUNCH
