THE POLITICAL BALLAD
OF THE AX-l0MS
By ARTHUR L. PRICE

In the city of Deeapit,
In the valley of the AXIS.
Lived the naughty Lord OF Bludseon.
Exc. the baron OF the whaeks;
And this axiom he muttered
AS he cleared the bloody decks:
zone head that's in the basket
Is worth two upon the neeks.
OH. his AK was stained with glory.
For his method was TO smite
And to start deluge CORY
OFT at ? o'clock at night.
And as he swung his seimetsr
These clever words he said.
ITO be head of all the people.
Them you arstiy must behead.
As he swung and cut and spattered
In this quaint Decapit town
A man who'd have a headache
Was. the subject of renown.
And IL one with such an ailmenU
Went to his practitioner
The doctor said. 4 see. sir.
You were no commissioner.
Baron started on his foemen,
And the lists were soon deplete.
For they had few heads amonS
them
They had had too much defeat.
But the glory of beheading
Carried such intense delight
That whoever headed for him
Was. quite headed OF on sight.
No headquarters were permitted
In this very headless vale;
If an engine showed a headlight
1t was. hustled into Jail.
Now, a head declared the baror,
rs confusing, for it shows
No definite decision,
For it has both eyes and noesr'
Soon there were no heads a-bobbing
In the valley of the AXIS,
And the naughty Lord OF B1udgecn
stood all lonely in his tracks.
And this axiom he muttered
AS the torrent flowed so red:
