Buttered

    Buttered again, by Jingo,
        Buttered again!
    Likely to make your lingo
        Awfully plain!
    Isn't it rough on the bowler, too,
    Doing his level to cram on screw?
    Easiest catches to three of the crew
        Buttered again!

    Stoddart dispenses stingo,
        Buttered again!
    Likely to make your lingo
        Awfully plain!
    Four to the Off and four to the On,
    One on the road to, at least, Hong Kong,
    One in the air to the ropes is gone--
        Buttered again!

    Fate not fit for a dingo--
        Buttered again!
    Likely to make your lingo
        Awfully plain!
    Bowl you yorker or bowl you a grub,
    Cover and Wicket your efforts snub--
    Too much salad--Ah, there is the rub--
        Buttered again!
