More Truth Than Poetry.
The legislators are again saving
the country.
Same old country,
Same old ills;
Same old statesmen,
Same old bills.
Bills for looping of the clerks.
Bills to fine man who works;
Bills to redistrict the state,
Bills to cut insurance rate;
Bills to build the statehouse dome,
Bills +, help 'em nearer home;
Bills to work q private graft,
Bills to show the statesman's craft;
Bills to aid the public schools,
Bills which only fool the fools.
Bills to make the bad be good,
Bills by which the patriarchs
stood;
Bills to regulate the sun,
Bills to get 'em on the run;
Bills to make the lean grow fat,
Bills to show 'em where they at;
Bills to regulate the trust,
Ellis to govern men who "bust;"
Bills to stop the sale of liquor,
Bills to help 'em get it quicker;
Bills for cutting down expense,
Bills to make the bills immense;
Bills to check the flow Of gold,
Bills to keep from growing old;
Bills to re-equip the pen,
Bills to stop the laying hen;
Bills to make a man vote right,
Bills to give the blind their sight.
Bills to stop the curse Of fusion,
Bills to end all base collision:
Bills to make new county lines,
Bills to stop the jointists' fines;
Bills to make the session longer,
Bills to make the salary stronger;
Bills for buncOmbe, bills for Doodle,
Bills 'gainst wistlin' yankee

Bills to burn and bills galore,
Bills like these and many more.
