carried into a shed where the house
cat had kittens.

When seine crime or horror thrills us .
Then we meet, all dignifled,
And express the wrath that fills US
A.!d the thoughts have beside.
To express our condemnation
There's a resolution passed
Asking an investigation III
And we're through with 1t at last
Then the promptly-named committee
Chooses officers and clerks
And moves on from town to city
AS quite solemnly it works.
Testimony is demanded
Lawyers arouse points of fact,
Witnesses are reprimanded
For tie way they talk or act
Time crawls on; we folks are hurried:
Each day brings us something new,
BY some other horror Hurried
We decide what we will do.
Still the old committee labors.
Taking note of that and this
While we talk with friends and neigh
bors
OF the way things go amiss.
Then, year or so thereafter
The committee makes report,
And we speak with gentle laughter
or the slowness Of the court.
The report, perhaps is printed,
II there are more funds to spend;
Laws of greater strength are limited
And the matters at an end.
So It Is today we're vowing
That somebody is to blame,
That full soon heads must be bowling
With the weight of guilt and shame.
In our primal Indignation
VIII we stir things up bit?
Launch q long investigation,
Then, as is our custom, quit?
