Excerpt: "G stands for Gnu, whose weapons of Defence Are long, sharp, curling Horns, and Common-sense. To these he adds a Name so short and strong, That even Hardy Boers pronounce it wrong.How often on a bright Autumnal day The Pious people of Pretoria say, "Come, let us hunt the——" Then no more is heard But Sounds of Strong Men struggling with a word. Meanwhile, the distant Gnu with grateful eyes Observes his opportunity, and flies. MORAL Child, if you have a rummy kind of name, Remember to be thankful for the same."
