And landed with both feet.

The year was bad, and so he nad

The voters were in earnest
And wouldn't stand for con-"
No chance to be a crook, so he
Was known as Honest john"
When running for the Office
He freely tapped his pile
Because he hoped to steal enough
To make the thing worth while,
But he was quite Disguised.
For when he came to town
He found no redhot stoves in sigh
And gold oneH all mailed dawn.
Now, wasn't it heart rending
And really quite a shame?
No line of graft he found on draft
Which spoiled his little game,
And little consolation
Was in it for this gent
To have them shout, well. he came
out
Much poorer than he went
