SEEN ON THE SIDE
nj HENRY EDWARD WARNER
The BiC Gnn.

Inc Big Gun.
VINO is that man whose name acclaimed
In every town and howell.
Have never been by labor manned
Nor touched pick nor shovel
And yet upon the shoulders high
OF throngs is borne apace
knowing that every passerby
Knows the bold flashing of his eye
His universal face?
How oft I've seen him charge a mob
And tear bad men asunder.
1t seems 10 be his special job
To play particular thunder
with Indians, robbers. bandit kings
kidna pers and their ilk-
Upon tremendous odds he springs:
He never seems to mind such things
And does them smooth as silk,
I've never seen him whipped nor turned
From any undertaking,
Nor by a single damsel spurned
Who's always out lovemakinE
I've seen him tackle fights that we
Would never think Of trying
The thought OF losing cannot be;
It's quite remarkable how he
Stacks up his dead and dying
Yet / have seen him meek and mild
And hardly recognized him
I've seen him when little child
Amuck would have surprised him.
This hero of the murderous twist
Has periods of Sinking
When he would shake threatening fist,
Nor even slap on the wrist
When the camera isn't working.
