Los bardos espanoles
que van a Jauja
llamados por Ia genie
de Venus barbas,
tienen, cosa es sabido,
IA mar de gracia
! cue exhiben en- eXtensas
y amenas charlas.
Mientras unos confiesan
no saber NADIA
de todas nuestras penas
V nuestras ansias,
otros tranquilamente
Sc "abren de capa"
d~eclarando en- los parrafos
de amena charla
que Mexico es precloso,
que sus mananas
son mas bel.as que todas
las que ellos cantan;
qre su paz es modelo.
que no es pintada
como la que llamarOn
paz porfiriana;
cue, en- fin, todas las cosas
que hace Carranza
merecen monumentos,
ARGOS Y estatuas.
Tres ilustres poetas
. hijos de Espana,
"ambos" tres tan alegres
como unas pascuas,
han asistido q muchas
fiestas en- Jauja
Y les han hecho versos
hasta a las casas
del barrio de Tepito,
que son tan bajas,
tan sucias Y tan viejas,
que cast "espantan."
que usa canana
V estan enamorados
de las polainas.
Cuando ven de don is
las luengas barbas,

sin poder e%xplicarse
como en- Espana
reina un ser que bigotes
tan solo gasta,
que acostumbra lavarse
por las mananas,
| cue usa camisa limpia,

V, 10 que es mas, que logra
que haya en- su patria
paz, progreso Y trabajo,
tres cosas magnas
que solo Sc consiguen
teniendo barbas
en- las que mil bichitos
suben y bajan
gozcsos de que eXista
Ia democracia
| que su accion ofensiva
puso tan alta.
Y todos eStos bardos
de lengua hispana,
| como al fin y a Ia postre
no gastan NADIA
, cor elogiar las cosas
que ven en- Jauja,
va hicieron que los hombres
que en- nuestra patria
| reinan con los machetes
Y las cananas,
Sc cream genie culta,

que tiene en- TODD el nNndo

Y es que los bardos saben
que TODD es guasa

solo IN triste recuerdo
de esos qu% amargan.
Ellos saben que pronto
