To Thomas A. Prcndergast

Tom Prendergast-
You read so fast
At every council meeting,
That "divil" one
Can e'er catch on
To what your are repeating.
You hustle through
A mile or two ...
Of dull routine proceeding;
The members watch
And sometimes catch
A word or two you re reading.
The roll you call,
And vote for all,
Regardless of their pleasure,
You note mistakes
And other breaks.
And change them at your leisure.

How long will this thing last?''

To keep your eye on Ordinance No. 10.

Nor leader in society,
But you keep us all good-natured
By picking out variety"
When your toes are toward the daisies,
Say it in all piety:
HE is OH the heavenly circuit,
With late samples of variety -
