That BreckOnS draws Cne pay.
Fourth Epileptic.
And Breckons' name appear elsewhere,
In modest letters printed,
Without a handle to said name,
(Nor is there any hinted).
Fifth Rhapsody.
OF course, the topic of the town,
Not many days gone by,
Was that Old Thwing had sprung d
trick
And Breckons lost the pie.
Sixth CONFUSION.
That Jack Our jack was slated for
The chair that Breckons sat in,
And so, no doubt, Jack got his name
The directory nice and pat in.
Seventh Slam.
Alas, the Tiser did the job,
1t did the Job of printing
And ne'er observed the awful break
OF title. name and tinting.
Eighth Agony.
For Breckons' still is Uncle Sans
Attorney for the district,
And Alatau l.. Atkinson
Has missed the Federal biscuit
Ninth Blast
Was Jack a little previous, or
Was Breckons all too lowly,
Or were affairs at Washington
Maturing somewhat slowly?
Tenth Jingle.
1t may of course, be Roosevelt's fault
For not appointing Jackie
Or leaving it to Billy Taft,
Qts hard to tell, by Cracky)
Eleventh Effusion.
Now Roosevelts run away to hide
On Africs golden strand
And left Jacks name in black-face type
Broadcasting DER the land.
Twelfth Twinge.
A moral, aye, pair of them,
Methinks, adorn, this poem,
So listen well, good people, all,
So next time you will know EN-.
Thirteenth Threnody.
Be sure you're right, then go ahead,
Nor take the word of Teddy;
Don't print it that you've got job
Until that job is ready.
Last Lampoon.
That's number one!-Heres number
two:
That Thwing, the holy terror,
Is what the typographists call
A careless printers error.
