The parson punts on Snooker, “7,”
Truth (Sydney), Sunday 23 April 1899
Stolen par:—Dr. Bevan at his own request was shown the workings of the totalizator in Adelaide. Original Truth verse:—
Oh, down in holy Adelaida
A parson saw the tote;
And consequently, with his aid,
The subject now we quote.
The parson punts on Snooker, “7,”
Alas! the truth to tell
A rotter won, and sure as heaven
That parson said “Oh —ell!”
