His wife was cooking dinner Wen a
guest CAIN through the door

She hit him with a turnip on his bald
and shiny pate
& sumthing like the following was the
word that she did state:
Chorus:

I'm tired of Teddy Roosevelt & his
littel Bull Moose tricks.
Vuddent care if Taft grew Daft *

Nix. Nix, Nix on Polyticks.
Well, sed Pa, what do you think Of
