THE NEGLECTFUL CITIZEN

He never registers at all;
He has no time TO hear the call
or public duty In his ear;
HIS private work takes all his care.
He does not like to mingle I'm
The primary's rude push and ain,
Nor take the trouble that IL means
To circumyent the boss" machines.
He has no graft TO gain and thus
He saves himself a lot OF fuss
But when things wrong and crooked ga
He's first 10 say. II told you So"
He does not mix In politics.
He things IL just a lot OF tricks;
He leaves Il 10 the men who made
Its management paying trade,
And will not go outside his door
To look the situation o'er.
He knows naught OF the candidate.
Nor OF the issues he doth make:
He knows that on election day,
Ii busy, from the polls he'll stay.
Yet when bad men are voted In,
And trickery and corruption win,
And good men, voted out, must go,
He's first 10 stay, 81 told you so!'
When bosses henchmen take their seat
And in law-making halls they meet.
And disregard the public need
In clever loot and graft and greed
Spend public funds for private waste,
Laugh when with public anger faced,
When business feels the burdens high
Piled by misrule on industry.
when public work is but half done,
And public funds to riot run,
And all TO ruin seems TO go.
He's first TO cry. 1T told you sou
