A fight! fight! and city FIRE bell
Couldn't ring up crowd and do it SO well!
For fight draws crowd as nothing else viii,
And high minded people stop to look OH a
mill.
In prize ring parlance mill is the name
For pounding each other-a beautiful game
From which the fair sex is generally barred !:
Where smuggling is strong and hitting is hard.
But two of our girls broke over the rule,
And pounded each other like boys out OF
school.
And they say it was tattling that got up the
muss
And caused this most deplorable fuss.
Loquacity, as have after been told,
Can make more tronble to young or old
Than could Belzebub in the light of his prime,
And set people fighting in far less time.
Then, is it wonder that damsels SO young
Should fight O. Ter the work of a tattling tongue9
And fall into old loquacity's snare
And at once begin pulling at each others
hair?
But the pulling of hair wasn't all, am told,
For they pummeled each other like sluggers
of old!
In the midst of the fray stood man with a
heart
AS cold as the tire on the wheel of cart:
For he brought out a gun, took deliberate
aim,
And shot them both, be it said to his shame,
While they were both lying prone on the
ground,
Without any warning and never a sound.
He leveled his gun, not seeming to care
For their souls, and people viii swear
They were shot both at once, as understand,
By camera in the hands of photographer
man!
The moral to this is easily foundI
Don't fight when there's photographer
round!
