OUR CHOICE.
Oh. MIR. Wilson, if you please,
While you are settin' at your ease
And maxim up your mind just what
you're goin' to give to me:
II 1t is all the same to you
I'd like to go to Timbuctoo
AS minister; it is the SWEETEST job
of all that kin see
The man who goes to Timbuctoo
Has got sinecure clear through
He doesn't have to worry DER the
articles of dress;
An old plug hat is all he needs
And then, perhaps, string of beads,
The rest of his apparel he can SIM
ply guess.
He is one of the bowling swells;
The finest of the village bellies
Stand round about him each hot
day and wave their gorgeous
fans;
They think because a feller's white

The life out there is simply grand !;
A Teller just sits in the sand
And watches the graceful seagull
in his native habitat.
The natives come and make salaam
And bow their heads to Uncle Sam.
1 never will be happy until 1 get
a job like that.
A teller kin just lie and dream,
Far from the haunts of harnessed
steam;
You do not have to toll away like
any common lob.
1t seems to suit me through and
through.
There's not bit of work to do,
And that's why, Mr. Wilson, 1 pre-
fer that sort of job.
