Of that bloke in the "Third" -

They had him chucked out of a club in Bombay.
But apart from his mess bills exceeding his pay,
He took to pig-sticking in quite the wrong way.

Usage notes
editAs a proper noun, the term Bombay is becoming obsolete for the city in India. The Indian city has been officially named Mumbai since 1995, and this name is the standard one in contemporary written usage, although "Bombay" is still common in spoken English and occasionally used in modern writing. However, Bombay remains in terms such as Bombay mix and Bombay duck.
