wish / were you,
C. NJ. D-p-wl
Once wished to be a king,
A Cham, or some such thing
In my thirsting titular
I'd have even been the Tar.
Then they spelled 1t with &C."
Now see it's with IT.
But 1t matters very little
How they spell a fellows title,
If he's sitting on bomb;
And the title questioned here
He may chance to read quite clear
Next breath in Kingdom Come.
But before these bombs and "buts"-
thought it would be nuts
Just to sit upon throne
In State that was my own.
Beneath a Russian sky
Every other man SIKH
And say I'VE" instead of a."
1--WE" to this and I'VE" to that
E. g., 1--WE smell rat"
And to issue "our" fat
SURPRISING by decree
All who didn't smell like me-
Those, mean, who'd not agree
AS the Tar does on his throne,
And Rid in the Tribune
Now rather I'd be you,
Be C-un-y M. D-p-w!
For you are blown up" never
(E'en by thinking you are clever.
The worst that any do
Is sometimes to interview"
And print here-rather "skewy"-
What you say out at St. Louisl
At dinner tables, too,
They sometimes seize on you,
Compelling an Grafton
tOf course mo preparation" and against your
inclination).
When one gets up hot-footed.
And says he's been depewted
To call upon D-p-w-
And then he looks at you.
Though revenge one shouldn't wreak,
Even I'd got up and speak!
But on the whole, D-p-w,
I'd rather far be you
Than any king or pope know" in all Europe.
Why, even the Tar, wide as the Steppes are,
Can not travel so far as you in your car,
And without "charge"-not a cent for fare
He must change at frontiers where they have
dounierst
While you, the gorgeousest travelling gent"
Go whirling across a continent
And all of it without costing q cent!
On the horse-cars, too,
C. NJ, D-p-w,
You can travel all day in q royal way.
No conductor will say:
Move up thar, D-p-w, thar's room thar for two!
10 a 4
"a piece which you knew was fresh from the
mint,
This quarter yer guys got hole in'tn
What can one do if one isn't D-p-w?
To the passengers near
You've been showing the queer"
Deny it? how droll! why there is the hole!
One hasn't the nerve. Remonstrance you cease,
And the peace to preserve just pocket the piece.
But if rightly read, C. NJ. D-p-w,
There is trouble ahead, even for you.
There are threats in the air. ominous threats,
And hear, here and there, rumors and bets
OF office awaiting. at least nominating
"C-un-y D-p-w."
And say in my soul; Now they'll soon find a
hole
A hollow in you"-
Though always before this treasured and hug
ged
When it comes to an Office they'll say you are
plugged"
Just now all around are devoted,
Unquestioned you're quaffed to and quoted,
Still dear to the heart of the shutting masses.
Though interstate law has cut off all passes.
Even the press never hazards q guess
hats oh =; 4f
The faintest shade that is not true blue,
Colors D-p-w.
And watching sfar the swing of your car
Which it seemed to me you had hitched to q
star
l have wondered what your small vices are,
If, indeed, you had any that didn't show.
Run for an ofice-then I'll know
All will come out no matter what,
Just how many wives you've got
How many shirts and what their kind,
Whether they button before or behind,
What brands you smoke and what brandy you
drink,
If you've wantonly spilled either blood or ink
There's nothing ever you've said or done
That'n not be shown to the MONDAY sun.
OF course you have never done anything bad
But were you, indeed. Sir Galahad,
Or even but I'll nothing add.
will only say. as l make my adieu,
If you leave the lines" where you run "clean
through"
To be run on dirty political track,
Where black is white and white becomes black,
On the wish I've expressed shall surely 20
back;
And tcouldnt be you,
C. NJ. D-p-w.
Personally, that is. Pronounced domaineers
From the Cosmopolitan.
