Sir Arthur Conan Doyle



                   The Irish Colonel


                   Said the king to the colonel,
                   "The complaints are eternal,
                     That you Irish give more trouble
                       Than any other corps."

                   Said the colonel to the king,
                   "This complaint is no new thing,
                     For your foemen, sire, have made it
                       A hundred times before."
