GENIUS

There. was a worthy citizen
Who spat upon the street.
They threw him in the jail-house-
With only nails to eat.
A fellow quite respectable
Save that he left his bride
Was hustled to the workhouse,
His awful shame to hide.
But at the self-same moment
My neighbor killed his wife,
For she had stopped his highbrow
thinks
With common talks of life.
The copper never pinched him
: Nor fed him voltage. tied,
They said he was a genius,
And so was justified.
l wish l were a genius,
Then l could sing at night.
And people would not egg,mc
Or claim that it,was spite,
Alas / am no genius,
So l must toe the line,
And if 1 snore at midnight,
draw heavy fine.
