The Last Shall Be First.

Mollie had little ram,
Fleece black as rubber shoe,
And everywhere that Mollie went.
He emigrated TO.
He went with her TO church one day
The folks hilarious grew
To see him walk de-mure-H into
Deacon Aliens pew.
The worthy deacon quickly let
His angry passions rise.
And gave il an unchristian kick
Between the sad brown eyes,
This landed rammy in the aisle;
The deacon followed fast,
And raised his foot again.
But ahy that first kick was his last
For Mr.. Sheep walked slowly back
About rod It's said,
And ere the deacon could retreat
1t stood him on his head.
The congregation then arose
And went for that ere sheep,
But several well directed butts
Just piled them in heap.
Then rushed they straightway for the door.
With curses long and loud,
While rammy struck the hindmost man
And shot him through the crowd.
