Ed. Register:
| Please to tell 'em this for stCrux"
l mean the boys-the jolly bucks
Who pounded me and pulled my hair,
And swore they didn't even care,
To smash my face and pull my nose.
Now, boys please don't soil my clothes,
DON'T pick me up and slam me down,
| And hurt me on the frozen ground
You know the people like joke,
And when e'er before wrote or spoke,
They knew the truth of what said
| And only laughed more when they read,
| What they had known some days before
And then they read and laughed some more
Twas all Joke, as l have said,
Although twas true the people said,
The funniest joke is one that's true
To see the boys put on the shoe,
That seems to fit each one the best
And leave the others for the rest!
Now, boys, don't do it any more,
Let's be good friends and laugh some more,
You make the breaks IN write the Jokes
'Tis tough on you but other folks
Will laugh right out to see you squirm,
Like some poor badly tortured worm.
You know there never was a Joke
But hit some one or more a stroke,
Yea know | did not give the names
u Dick or Bill or Jack or James,
But let each one pick out his part,
Nor thought they'd take it SO to heart.
I'm sorry, yes, indeed 1 am sad
To think / made the boys so mad
But since they will not take my sass,
l suppose must keep soft the grass!"
