THE PARKS FOR "THE PEOPLE!"
(Yes, but what Sort of "People"?)

WHENE'ER I take my walks abroad,
   How many sots I see,
And though I never speak to them,
They often speak to me.
I do not heed their course remarks,
But with their playful curses,
They frighten from our healthful Parks
The Children and their Nurses.

Punch, July 2, 1881
