The Baby's Baedeker: Wales
From Verse and Worse (1905)
Social Commentaries
The natives of the land of Wales
Are not a very truthful lot,
And the imagination fails
To paint the language they have got;
Bettws-y-coed-llan-dud-nod-
Dolgelly-rhiwlas-cwn-wm-dod!
MORAL
If you must talk, then do it, pray,
In an intelligible way.
