Thread Name: DTStudy: Bonny Dundee
Subject: RE: DTStudy: Bonny Dundee
This is an excerpt from a 1908 political election parody, which starts off quite cleverly, but then struggles to fit...

"To the Dundee Electors 'twas Winston broke forth,
my loss in the South is your gain in the North.
So let every man here, who loves Fair Trad and ME,
up an' win a new glory for Bonnie Dundee

Come fill up your posters, come fill up your walls.
Call out your crowds and open your halls;
For with Free Trade an' government, big-wigs an' ME
You'll have something to mind on in Bonnie Dundee....
M.A.Y.

Presumably Winston is Winston Churchill. The parody was published on the front of a Dundee newspaper.
