Little Bobbie S
Pa
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.

THAVE jest rote q song, Wife, sed Pa,
that I think you wud like to hear.
wud like 20 hear it all rite if
you will let Bobbie sing it, sed Ma.
am afrade that you wuddent be abel
to do so fine a song justice.
Well sed Pa, then Bobbie can sing
It, | knew that he wanted to sing it
hisself, but what Ma sed about it bee
ing a fine song made him feel kind of
good after all SO Pa handed me the
song & ! sang it the best ! cud for
the kind of song it was. This was the
naim Of the song:
NIX, NIX, NIX ON PoLYTICkS.
The drawing room was crowded in
city far away,
Il was a politishun's hoam, so bril-
yunt and so gay.
His wife was cooking dinner wen
guest calm through the door
& sed Do you think William Taft win
get Jest one term moar?
She hit him with a turnip on his bald
and shiny pate
& sumthing like the following was the
word that she did state;
Chorus:
Nix, Nix, Nix on Polyticks,
I'm, tired of Teddy Roosevelt & his
/ littel Bull Moose tricks
/ wuddent care if Taft grew Daft &
Wilson crossed the StyX,
Nix, Nix, Nix on Polyticks
Well, sed Pa, what do you think Of
that for a song?
1t dident seem to impress me favor
able, sed Ma 1t is not true, not true
to life & not true to wimmen, sed Ma.
Did you ever see me, for instens,
throwing a turnip at a mans bald
he'd? In the first place, | never cooked
a turnip & wuddent have one in my
hand, & In the second place | cuddent
throw strate enuff to hit anybody in
the he'd unless | aimed at his feet
Pa got kind Of mad then. wife,
deer, sed Pa, is thare anything that
! ever did that you liked? was
almost sure that this one time you
wud like this song. ! spent Il lot Of
time on it. | thought the chorus was
kind of catchy.
You poor old boy. sed Ma; / dident
think that YOU was going to cry so
hard, or anything like that If 1t viii
maik you feel any better to tell you
that ] think the song is good, l viii
say that the song is good. only
thought that you wanted my real opin-
yum, Ma sed
You know as well as ] do that poly
ticks is everything rite now & that it
is always a important part of American
life. Why doant you rite a song about
the moonlite on the lake, or sumthing
of that kind. Everybody knows that
thare is moonlite on the lake when
thare is a lake & a mite that the moon
is out
| guess you better lay off on song
writing sed Ma x try sumthing else.
| was reading the other day about
man that got ten thousand dollars for
curing horse that belonged to a
rich man. Why doant you try beeing a

Beeing "A what? sed Pa
oh. anything, sed Ma. Try beeing a
shipping clerk. But doant be a song
