Commissioner Woodbury. received a poem
Yesterday. 1t was sent to him anonymously
but was mailed in Brooklyn. This IL it.:
soso OF THE ALDERMEN.
1900.
Hood wrote 80 sad and sorrowtuliy
When he sang the song Of the shirt.
But the song we sing has q different ring
It's OF ashes and garbage and dirt.
Tennyson wrote OF kings and knights.
OF their thrustings and their thumps.~
We sing OF rags and Of bones In bags.
We sing the song OF the dumps.
Byron had his childe Harold
A hero without a home.
Mid iron and brass and broken up glhss.
We sing the song OF Marrone.
Lawson made war on copper.
Scolding the puts and calls
While WINS. reflective, With bitter invectVe,
Deuounces the length OF the haulS.
IT'S the age OF investigation.
And WINS Is In luck,
So the nlthy lucre he's out 10 euchre,
And be revels In slush and muck.
There's money In rags and bottles,
As Gnfenhagen knows:
In fertilization In utilization,
In furniture. junk and old clothes.
Roosevelt wars for the people
And wins a great renown,
While WINS howis. Grumbles and growls,
And all about Mary Brown"
Hughes was out for insurance,
His fame Ia In the bud:
WINS has hopes In rubbish and ropes.
Ashes, garbage and mud.
All hail TO the great reformers,
And the imitators and takers.
But the Wins committee In New York city
Are truly the great muck rakers.
