THE PRIZE WINNER

There was n man In our town,
And he was wondrous wise;
He ne'er was seen when he was not
Competing for a prize.
One time he guessed how many seeds
A pumpkin had. therefore
He got new g. bill
At Soakum's Clothing store
He wrote an essay once. for which
He drew set of books
Containing cooking recipes
BY all the famous cooks.
And once he got a nickel watch
For something he had guessed:
When he went after prizes there
Was no hope for the rest.
There never was a rebus which
He couldn't figure out:
Charades were simple things that he
Could tell you all about.
He won a bracket saw and once
He got set of paints
For telling how the martyrs died
And naming all the saints.
He always tried for every prize
He heard of anywhere,
And seldom worked at other things
He had no time TO spare.
No riddle was so intricate
That he would pass It by:
No problem ever daunted him
He'd solve the thing or die
Poor fellow. he has gone to rest.
His worrying IS past,
And he has solved the problem whicI
We all must solve at last.
He lived in penury and died
A pauper-ah. my son,
Despse him not. but think OF all
The prizes he has won.
