And storm clouds in their rage rush
Boiling through each other.
Podwix, the genial, etc., has gone,
etc. He has departed for those realms,
etc., whence no persons ever come back
to tell, etc. Within the bosom of that
extinct old crater he lies inferred, etc.,
and here's what Reyes inscribed on his
tombstone by way Of epitaph
Here lies poor Podwix-
He always lied;
But he told the truth
Sometimes when he tried.
He might have prospered
Did he but choose,
But he didn't advertise
In the GOLD HILL News.
