Sir Absolute "Old Grant" appeared
With a supply of stout,
And while his nose bloomed visibly,
He kept his head throughout
[Image - drawing of person's head with large top hat and bubble from mouth saying "Hey! Mrs. Malaprop"]

Cornish as Captain Absolute
Revealed his "heavenly eyes"
Peering around the door to hear
His Pa soliloquize.

Shore acted well with Julia near
To touch his heart and brain,
And when the play was finished out,
He wished to try again.

Westgate as Acres showed his art
Without a lapse or cough,
But something must have touched his cheek
And rubbed his whisker off.
