As usual with functions where Britons are concerned
the event concluded with a feast.
The Europeans were regaled with a cold luncheon
at Mr Busby's house.
The Maoris, on the lawn,
had pork, potatoes and Kororiroi:
a mixture of flour, water and sugar
of which they are immensely fond.
These delicacies they devoured
sans knives, sans forks.

Blankets were brought by Mr Williams.
These I call the bait.
The fish did not know
there was a hook within.
He took the bait and was caught.
When he came to a chief, Mr Williams presented his hook,
and drew out a subject for the Queen.
