Kansas. 1907.


Just a-haulin' out the stun
From the plains o. Kansas.
Railroads can't get cars enough
Fur to empty Kansas.
Qrt to see the farmers grin,
Stroke the lilacs on their chin,
AS the cash comes rolin' In,
Over there In Kansas.
Women singin' songs o. glee,
Bout oil fruitful Kansas,
Babies CROWN merrily
Everywhere in Kansss.
Purity girls a-buyin' clothes,
Toggin' out from head to toes.
Style2 You bet your life she goes
Over there In Kansas.
When the cares o. day Is done,
On the plains o. Kansas,
And the kids begin to yawn,
~Sleepy-like in Kansas,
Farmer wipes his glasses blurred,
Reads a chapter o. the Word,
Then he kneels down and thanks the
Lord
That he lives in Kansas.

One Weeks Destruction.

A Noah's ark-without the hull,
A wagon small-just one wheel left,
A noisy drum-that's lost its head,
A brave young sword-of blade bereft,
A singing top-without It's song,
A fire engine-where's its hose?
A "horseless" dray-a trumpet bent,
A broken sled-and so 1t goes.
