THE SCAR sPANeLED KID.

Oh, say, can you see by the dawn's ear
ly light,
Any signs of the day of our nation s
proud glory?
Have you looked in the sky for the
rockets red flight?
Are your little boys fingers all ban
daged and CORY?
Is his toy cannon dumb? Is his nose
out Of plumb?
Can't he be held in check till the great
day shall come?
Oh, say, is your kid patriotic and
brave,
With the tetanus germ Turing him to-
ward the grave?
Do the neighbors complain as they
groan in their beds,
That the crackers he shoots wakes
them up every morning?
Do they say that the pain permeating
their heads
Is caused by your kid? Have they given
him worning?
Is he up with the lark cunning for a
good mark?
Does he bang cannon crackers from
daylight till dark?
Oh, say do the neighbors in wild ac-
cents rave,
In the hopes that a bomb lays him
low in the grave?
Are the haystacks intact standing out
in the lot?
o nothing but patches of smoldering
ashes?
Was your kid and his fireworks the
Jack-on-the-spot
Which caused Uncle Josh to use
sWearwords in dashes?
Will he still be on earth on the day of
our birth,
Raising Sam Hill and thunder for all
he Is worth?
Oh, say, Will the surgeons your small
kidlet save
From a nap in the soil meath a green
grassy grave?
