POLTTICIAN-An alert and all-around
Ready to shake hands with every kind
of clan:
Before election he bows and bids every
one a pleasant good-day,
But after election he treats you as friSio

While hunting for votes he promises this
and that
But after election he'll tell you to &C

He is an artist who can make an ange

According to the wad he gets to stretch

He is ''critter'' born to represent Eden

Like polly he talks and jabbers like a

He is always good natured and always
= ready to dream:
About the glass which his next convert
i will treat him to,
In fact at the bar he is both Gentle
and Jew.
He talks with his hands, and he stamps
with his feet,
According to the action of the grape
juice imbibed at the treat,
And when the opponents arouse the
billy-goat blood in him
He turns into a fighter to battle for his
