into national fame by writing the fol-

to feeling better, and which resulted
in the overthrow of the populistic
craze:
Nothing to do but work,
Nothing to eat but food,
Nothing to wear but clothes
To keep from going nude
Nothing to breathe but air
Quick as flash it's gone.
Nowhere to fall but off,
Nowhere to stand but on.
Nothing to comb but hair.
Nowhere to sleep but in bed.
Nothing to weep but tears.
Nothing to bury but dead.
Nothing to sing but songs.
All, well, alas, alack!
Nowhere to 60 but out.
Nowhere to come but back.
Nothing to see but sights.
Nothing to quench but thirst.
Nothing to have but what we've got.
Thus through life we are cursed.
Nothing to strike but gait:
Everything moves that goes,
Nothing at all but common sense
Can ever withstand these woes.
