Signed Away His Liberty

"And so, Jack, you have turned tee
total? Well, I never thought you'd
be a milk-and-water drinker. al
ways did say as how you could take
your glass like a man, and leave it
alone when you'd had enough; but
here, now, l see by that bit of blue
on your coat you've actually gone and
signed away your liberty"
well, yes, l have, Tom; and, do
you know, l rather enjoy the change
Before l signed the pledge my toes
had liberty to look through my boots,
my elbows had liberty to look through
my coat, my knees had liberty to look
through my pants, and I could scratch
my head without taking my hat off.
Well, Tom, I've signed away all that
liberty, and find myself prisoned up in
a good suit of clothes, and I quite
enjoy the novel experiment" - The
