MAUD MULLER AT a CATTLEMENs CONVENTION

Maud Muller a winters day,
Donned a hat in the cowboy way,
And rode astride all boys do
With big rOwel each shoe
She chased a steer the convention ground.
And whired asso round and round
Sending it reelng through the air
With quite an experts dextrOus care.
But its length had been fully spent
The steer made lunge and out he went
Through a railing that crcled the space,
And led Miss Maud a merry chase
He dashed straight through gaping crowd
That viewed the contest cheering loud,
AS Maud tried again her ropng hand
And failed once more the steer to land
On she sped round the outer ring,
Racing full tilt to catch the thing
With trailing rope and streaming hair,
Looked like Centaur at fair.
She yielded at last to adverse fate
Gaoping back at & slower gait,
She drew the reins at the judges stand.
Remarking quantity: 1T beats the band.
'But you please wait till nineteenfouT,
And then. perchance I'll try it DER;
When | will either land a steer
Or something else that's quite dear"
