Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Thomas Shimmin (1800 – c.1876–1879[1]) was a rag gatherer and poet nicknamed "Tom the Dipper" who lived in the Isle of Man.[1]
He was said[who?] to be twice sentenced for robbery. He may have died in 1876 or 1879[citation needed].
But the despised metropolis,
I call it Castletown,
Although the Governor were amiss,
In honour did abound;
'Twas not alone the poor were fed,
But tradesmen and there spouse,
To the Town Hall were freely led,
And quickly filled the house.
