Deaf House Agent

That deaf old

With his hand to his ear—His hand to hi head stood out like a shell,

Horny and hollow.  He said, "I can't hear,"He muttered, "Don't shout,

I can hear very well!"He mumbled, "I can't catch a word;

I can't follow."Then Jack with a voice like a Protestant

Roared—"Particulars!

Farmhouse!

At  quid a year!""I dunno wot place you are talking about."Said the deaf old man.

Said Jack, "What the Hell!"     But the deaf old man took a pin from his desk, picked          a piece of wool the size of a hen's egg from his ear,          had a good look at it, decided in its favour and re-          placed it in the aforementioned organ.
