What a Knocker Is Made OF

After God had finished the rattle snake,
the toad and the vampire, he had some
awful substance" left with which he
made knocker. A knocker is a two
legged animal with corkscrew soul, a
water.sogged brain and a combination
backbone made of jelly and Glue, where
other people have their hearts, he carrie,
a tumor OF rotten principles. When the
knocker comes down the street honest
men turn their backs, and ANGELS weep
tears in heaven and the devil shuts the
Gates Of hell to keep him out. No man
has the right to knock as long as there is
pool OF water deep enough to drown his
body in or rope to hang his carcass with.
Judas lscsriot was a sentlement compared
to knocker, for after betrayins hi,
master, he had enough character to hang
himself and knocker hss not. - Exchange.
