An illustration from The hole book, 1908, leaf 28
Dick Bumble, with a bag of grain,Was going out to grind it, When through the bag the ballet toreAnd left a hole behind it! I Dick neither knew the bag was pinked, Nor that a hole was in it,And wondered why the load he bore Grew lighter every minute. … Tim Nickleby had hooked a fish, And was about to land it,When—snap! his fish-pole broke in two-= He couldnt understand it* Of course the bullet did the trick;—It would have been more thrilling If it had punctured Timothy,Who was in need of drilling.
