Drops in the jack rabbit out in Dakoty,

howed they Fairbanks and howed they for Knox
And focked they for Cannon in jubilant hocks
And boosted they Hughes with full boost
Ii old push Taft off the roost!
Like a lordy turkey along in July,
That crowd strutted forth when ii landed in Chi"
Like the selfsame buck turkey Thanksgiving Day.
That crowd surreptitiously vanished away.
For the sheahless big stick OF asudden Jared loose
BY way OF enecng amiabe truce
And crashing and flashing and smashing about
Kept busy till all of the allies out"
A deep-dented cherry alone marked the spot
Where Fairbanks had been but where he not,
While Hughes chair disclosed the view
By unfinished speech and a whiskeF
OF Knox there remained not a word he had quoth,
OF Cannon survived, but a feverish oath
And from Lake unto Packing House could descry
So much the smoke OF a single ally.
