PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.

[November 1, 1890.

THE SMELLS.

[Edgar Allan Poe " Up to Date,")

i I On the air by day and ni*ht! 1 Of the muok-malodoration that so nauseously

Look on London withes Smells— While our thoraxes they tickle j wells

Sickening Smells! Like the fumes from brass m pickle, j . From the Smells^ SmelH Smells, Smells,

"What long nasal misery their nastiness fore- I Or from naphtha all alight •

tells! Making stench, stench, stench,

How they trickle, trickle, trickle, I In a worse than witch-broth drench,

Smells, Smells, Smells—
From the fuming and the spuming of the
Smells.
