For DR.. Taft is almost dead
With Presidential fever.
Good Doctor Clark did then remark
The patients growing weaker,
Her prospects now are very dark,
Unless they call the speaker.
Our William j. was heared to say
I'm always in position
To heed a call by night or day,
And I'm fine physician.
Then Doctor Ted looked wise and said
I've made diagnosis,
For Pm a doctor, born and bred,
Well skilled in Hocuspocus.
To understand the case in hand
When doctors disagree,
Should leave it all at my command.
For Pm the great NJ. D.
To take the case is no disgrace
AS all can plainly see,
There's none prepared to ill the place
Except the Lord and me.

You cruelty the Bosses.
