Description: A caricature celebrating the victory of the USS Wasp over the HMS Frolic and the accompanying rhyme.
"A Wasp took a Frolic and met Johnny Bull,
Who always fights best when his belly is full.
The Wasp thought him hungry by his mouth open wide,
So, his belly to fill, put a sting in his side"
