A Metrical Movie.

When ALI at once / saw a store, where
was sold bread and carpet tacks.
Behind the barn and by the stall nam

/ ran around and grabbed 1t up, as II II
were a volley ball.
They got a sheriff after me and locked
me up in the country JAN
Until 1 found that good frlend nau

MY friend he took me to an Inn ana
gave me of some eats
POTATOES, corn, and apple pie, with
vinegar and beets.
The waiter stepped up with the bill;
beaned him with the pie;
I grabbed him By the collar and kick
ed him in the eye;
I seized pumpkin, firm and hard, 10
smear 1t up on he,
But then, bethrough the window, the
sheriff l did see.
The ill-directed pumpkin went and
beaned the sheriff's head;
Up came the old berusted gun ana
hurled a chunk OF lead.
The metal caught plate OF beans and
tossed It in the air:
The beans descended speedily, and filled
the walters hair:
I knew this bedlam soon must end-l
