South Yorkshire Times and Mexborough & Swinton Times, Saturday 13 January 1906
By Snooker, on statistics, you are probably impressed,
You like to hear him rolling mighty figures off his chest.
Admiringly you wonder that, so accurate and quick.
He can wrestle with a problem of abstruse arithmetic;
But when, perchance, you find you do not get to sleep at night.
Because somehow you cannot make his figures work out right,
You’ll wish that polling day would come to bring relief to you.
And find the gifted Mr. Snooker something else to do.
