With the -gift 4 CAB most Cabling.
And when nothing else is doing.
FOR the time hangs somewhat heavy.
At halt-cock he shoots his mouth off
(F'or, alas! no notch called Safety
Makes him wait till aim is taken,
So it goes off prematurely
When he breathes on the hair-f 5ger),
Shoots at his wondering triss.n.
Bids the married men get busy,
Bids the squaws produce papooses.
Then he clubs the cor-porations,
With his stuffed club, Billy -Bigstick,
Lams the lining out of credit.
Hands to Confidence a hot one.
Knocks the socks from fourteen billion
Tainted ducats and si-mol-eons,
Talking ever thru his scalp-lock,
Handing out his CUFF in punches,
Scarce to death most everybody.

In their noccas,ns and stockings.
Once upon these shells and wampum,
Used by all the tribes for money,
Yap-a -hootee found a motto
Telling of a God to Trust in.
Yappy talked that motto silly,
Talked 1t deaf and dumb and batty,
Till the words, by words affrighted,
1'ade into the great skiddooward,
Where is nothingness forever.
Then he shrieked with war-whoop
mighty
Trust in Me, oh men and ,naidens,
Braves and squaws and all papooses,
Put your trust in Yapohoo-tee;

Here s your motto Trust in 9appy,s'
See him leaning on his club-let,
On his spear that knows no brother.
At his side his thrones successor.
Good old Gadabout, the Fat One.
