1t once was a pleasure to see and to hear !;
Tinker to- Evers- to- Chance.
1t tickled the optic. it tickled the ear.
Tinker to Evers- to- Chance.
The sweet combination of good olden days
Is shattered and scattered in various ways.
But still we recall that melodious phrase :
Tinker to- Evers-to- Chance.
But now there comes another strain:
Pratt-to- Peck Pipp.
1t hands the poets heart pain:
Pratt Ito Peck-to-P ipp.
Tho Pratt and Peck and Pipp may clout
The horsehide pellet inside out
It's mighty heard to rave about:
Pratt Peck-to- Pipp.
