''There was an old man and he had two sons,
He lived on farm, SO the story runs;
Where all went wei for a little while,
TIL some one got his eye on the pile.
Now the Oldest son was goodly man,
he was built on the 'W0Fk-for- a-l1v1ng plan,
With calm and sanctimOniOus face;
He tried to keep up In this LIES race
By using his muscles and not his face.
But the younger one was a son of gun,
He worked many schemes to get the mon;
He wore a red necktie and high standing collar,
An, ne was regular Jim Dandy lOller.
And this young man was quite on to that;
SO he kept his weather eye on the pile,
Al And knew he would get it after while,
To quit the town for many mile.
The proper time came and or he went,
To never return, was the message he sent;
Ten days it took to seal his fate,
Then he pawned his suspenders and put on a
And started for home on the limited freight.
Safely he came to his brothers door,
Resolved to try just one BLUM more
SO he banged his head upon the sill,
Said he had taken poison pill,
NOW let me de- he said, IF you WILL
But Steve said no. both short and direct,
Pump out the poison, then we can collect.
Doctor pumped hard, but all in vain,
Pulse it was normal, head quite the same,
He's convalesctng from his big bluf1ng game"
