In March I was as plain a chap as one
could wish 70 see; -
The postnan seldom rang my belt or left
a thing for me,
And when I wandered down the street
met a friend or two
That gave a jerky little nod and friendly
howdy-do;
7 changed my collar twice week. my
cuffs as much as once.
And every one believed me Just an ordi-
nary Ounce.
But now it's vastly different; for some
time back In May
/ got 10 be a delegate-Tm quite man
today!
I'm getting letters by the bale from
folks never knew:
/ have a prefix hon, sufrix ESQ;
/ read each letter DER and Ger and
heave a puzzled sigh
And wonder II the man who gets such
mssives can be i,
lot OF men with shiny hat ana linen
spotless white
Come seeking 10 consult with me most
any hour OF night
It's nothing strange TO have coacn
come after me In state,
For I'm no common person now-nay, I'm
a delegate.
I s'pose--to look ahead bit-'twill be
little hard
To settle back TO common life when ones
been sleeping CARED
And wined and dined and smoked and
told how good a chap he is
The rockets falling handle makes
mighty feeble fzz.
But while It lasts I'll make the most or
And gather comfort from the thought
that such things have 10 be.
For where would be the glory or our
people-governed state
II 'twere not for such chaps as i-tne
party delegate!
