It's fun to hear the end ess flow
OF senseless sound he's dropping
And think that he is wound TO go
Forever without stopping.
While others writhe in pain beca use
He's making them 50 tired
! watch the motion OF his jaws
And wonder il they re wired.
Though he is called WINDY bag"
And other names as funny
It's worth, | think, to hear hi m brag
About one cen OF money.
While people hate his vain conceit
And think he isn't witty
And sadly snub him on the street
feel for him pity.
Born without brains he cannot see
Himself as others see him,
Besides he's very good to be
A freak in some mu-see-
Because / pity him, in such
A proper place ! ia shove him
For, while | like him-rather much
l cannot say | love him
Still, though he's such nuisance cool
That, gladly, we'd destroy hin,
He doesn't mean 10 be. The fool
lmagines we enjoy him.
