(P) Healesville, had you but served your God as diligently as you have served your pots, He would not have deserted you in your gray hairs. BEFORE ELECTION, What! Potts! Potts of the Badger! Hot pots Sometimes boil over Let us hope, Ockwell, You have your sock well Lined for the contest With rabbit trap over. Potts when he sings “Will you be there, For I’ll be there,” The welkin rings With pots in air. Ockwell, take care, For Potts may pan Out well; the van May lead. Beware! AFTER What! Potts! Potts of the Badger! Ockwell, he’s had yer Hot pots don’t always boil over! Potts is in clover, For he is there – Potts in the air. Will he go higher, Or out of the pot Will he fall in the fire! “This world’s good things Are all but dross,” Is what Potts sings. What say you, Sloss? Eh, mon ’tis odds and evens. First it was Stephens, Now it is Potts. OH Potts talks lots Have the ratepayers Found their own level, In answer to prayers, Or gone to the – Potts.
