There's none can tell about my birth.
FOR Tn as old as the big, round earth;
We young immortals, clear the track
mthe boss old Joke on the carpet tack
Thus spoke
Joke
with solemn croak;
And as he said,
Upon his head
He stood, and waited for the tread
OF thoughtless wight
Who in the night
Gets up, srrayed in robes of white,
And indiscreet,
Prowls round for something good to eat
But other Jokes
Hia speech provokes.
And old and bald and lame and gray,
with scorn supreme they say him Nay:
And bid him hold his unweaned tongue.
For they were old ere he was young.
So hot
they grew,
This complot
They laid plan
To catch man,
That all the clan
Might then trepan
His skull with jokes. They thus began:
First Mule, his heel its skill to try.
Amid his ribs bewildered laid,
And back recoiled, he well knew why
Insurance man., he faintly said.
Next Stove Pipe. as hot as fire;
Put up!" he cried, in accents bold,
With elbow joint he struck the Tyre
And knocked the weather bureau cold.
But then Ice Cream. with hair so gray,
Three thousand years before the tiood;
Cold, bitter cold, will be that day
Thou dost not warm the TESTERS blood.
"Spoons for the spooney+ was her song,
That dragged its deathless length along.
And longer had she sung, but with frown,
The Pie impotent rose,
And said, "Behold am the funny clown,
And without me there is no Joke that goes
To every journal in the land
. lend my omnfpresent hand;
I've Allied in Jokes of every grade
Since ever jokes and pies were made"
Detected Oyster at his side
A soft, half drown-ded voice applied,
And said that he was there,
And It was hardly fair, fareD

Pale Internationally sighed.
And-but the muse would find II vain
To give the list of all the train;
The hairless, toothless. purbind crew
That burst on mans astonshed view,
The bulldog and the garden gate,
The girls papa in wrathfui state;
Mamma-in-law, the leathern clam;
The midnight cat, the rampant ram;
The fly, the goat, the skating rink,
All the old things that you can think
And as these jokes about him cried,
Their victim, man, lay down and died.
