There are bores In great profusion In
this world we habitste,
/ And we're pretty sure 10 strike EN-
| whereso'er we navigate
There's the man who knew your brother
In the days OF long ago.
There's the man whose mouth prohhc u
forever on the flow;
! But they're blessings in comparison-i
stand them very we'll
| II you'll keep away the man with JUST
one story he can tell
have met him in Chicago. have met
him In ST. Lou;
ignored him UP in ogden, though his
face and form knew; :.
have met him in Tacoma. In Seattle
everywhere
Till you'd think his little repertoire
would grow, but ! declare
He performs that same old solo. though
he never did IL we'll
It's pain 10 meet this nrrr with just
one story he can tell!
For he always wants 10 tell it-thats the
saddest part OF all:
And his story knows no season-wfnter
summer. spring or fall.
He can tell II just as poorly 10 crowd
as tete-a-tete,
lie will wake to tell II early and stay up
10 tell IL late,
He is callous TO the chimings OF the busy
chestnut bell
He must tell II. for. alas! It's all the
story he can tell!
Some sweet day some outraged human
will relax his self-control.
Then a horny handed sexton must get
out and dig a hole
In the sod amid the granite shafts that
rear their heads on high.
While we stife wicked wishes that con-
Germ the by and by,
Won't there he mighty scramble for
chance 10 ring the knell
or this poor. deluded man with just one
story he could tell?
