1 One is reminded of the last verses of “Albert and the Lion” by Marriott Edgar (Toronto, 1938), p. 3. Mrs, Ramsbottom complained that the lion had swallowed her son.
“The magistrate gave his opinion
That no one was really to blame
And he said that he hoped the Ramsbottoms
Would have further sons to their name.
At that mother got proper blazing
‘And thank you, sir, kindly,’ said she
‘What, waste all our lives raising children,
To feed ruddy lions? Not me!’”
