To make it complete there were twenty or SO,
| Pleasure seekers toward HIGGINS, their meet,
ing place bent,
Then hilarlty and joyfulncss, with sound the air
They reached the place toward which they were
bound
And soon Fair ALMA within was found.
As sure as Cleveland to hard times opened our
eyes
Just so surely was this a true surprise.
Now as they walk in
Ny Introducing will begin
There was a Rip Van Wrinkle,
In the forlu of a TOWNSEND,
whose ever lengthy whiSkers
Almost TO his knees did extend.
There was a BARBER
Who to shave him did try,
But his tRIGGISS) were left on { other size
so he gave it up with a sigh.
There was a RoBBIN
Whose feathers kept a b0bbln,
While she talked with Aunt Susan. Tile While
They were bawlin'
Tue feathers were talltR
They at last FELL in q PYLE.
There gas Doc MUNYAN with Asst from the
Who sang for us this little Ditty,
Why do ye LOOK foTlorn
I why suffer from a corn,
You who tight shoes have worn
should never Docs advice SCOrl,
But come direct to Doc. Munyan
FOR his sure cure, be II corn or buhlOh.
There was ELSIE as ElanOr the prim
So precise they dared hardy let her in,
Everything in its place. A Lack.
she sat in great state
For she believed herself an fatit liaitl.
Even TO the Touch me not ribbons on heF Ddch'
There was an Irish girl from HgEFT
Whom her mistress said her salt wasn't Worth
Why was easily explained
ironing day she was sent,
And for the clothes horse went
The clothes to dryupon Great jack
She risked a great deal
For a horse she did steal
And she hung all the clothes on its back.
There was also o SOFT OF a bean
Who wore glasses also
He all the quilts on his back had
And no wonder he looked sad
For wasn't his outlook surely tOrlOrninG,
When he reached home in the wee small hours
in the morning?
There was a girl in blue
And i think her name was Sue.
But at best,
The initial was 8.
And she was just a trille fat,
She was not from these 0iggtiiS
But owed q bill to higgins,
For the cotton on her hat.
| There was a Huggin
In place OF a HIGGIN,
His arm surely "a brides neck did span,
| There was a clown
| Who on us did fTOWn
DENNY 1t II you can.
| While BEN inside was cloggin
Higgins chair was a joggin.
The organ part of its strength had to lend
! While a BARBER was Shawn
On the grass where there was no pawn
The contents of it upward he did send.
There was Mary Jane Begorry
| Who said she was so sorry
But she could not stay without 4 doubt,
For her mistress said AT ten,
II she wasn't in by then
She would TURSsR out.
There WA YEAGER, great
In county and state
| With all kinds of jokes he did abound.
He said he was COW boy Joe
from a Wild West show
And he wore a quilted gown,
Imagine our surprise
When we opened our eyes
To the fact that he lived in our own "
ASAfLoR from Phily was there,
Clothed in the clty's Records 50 rare,
She rose as from the dead
Says she, TN just like bread
All the better from rising,
Why Faith and 4 bit
II / all the time sit
You'd not know which mas mcSeli N the pa
pers I'm advertisement.
There was when all were assembled
A noise which somewhat Tesemhlfd
The sharpening of n butcher kA!llt,
The door opened,
In it stalked nothing great or tall
But 1t was a HATCI-et small
And 1t contained life.
Silence then rcigned supreme
When issued forth a scream
Hi there! FLANAGAN, You scamp
Don't you dare blow ont that lamp.
If the invited yOu would know,
Read up and down lust so.
All Capitals and underlined yOn see.
Will surely one that was there be-.
The light showed plainly the sight
That was hidden before
But HARRY don't get mac and look so awful.
sad
Therell be none near the sofa any more,
There was dancing in the ParlOr
There was dancing In the Hall
There was dancing on the carpets
And this dancing was not all. For 10!
There was dancing OH the pOrtlc0.
The were refreshments by the score
Enough for all and more
After the treat they gave the Boston dip
And 4 PYLE around up with the song since
Paddy left the ship.
o why were the neigLhorS so bold
As at us so to Scnld.
Have they forgot the DAYS, when they CONTROL
ed the way2
To say what a pretty crowd
Too bad it was allowed
Such a one to talk deScrresa medal shoul'
say.
