To the Discontinued Alien.

When you left your dear old homeland
And crossed the ocean foam,
And landed in the t. S. A.
Frendless and alone;
When Uncle Sam extended YOU
4 welcome good and true.
And opened wide his portals
To YOU and such as you,
He came and grasped you by the hand,
And said your friend he'd be;
Invited you to settle down
In this Land of the Free;
He offered YOU the best he had.
And opened wide his store
OF things and opportunities.
Which you'd ne'cr seen before
You started in your new life.
Seemed happy from the start
But after you'd been here while
You threw the poisoned dart
You spread unhappiness around.
And discontentment, too.
And then turned down our Uncle Sam
Who was a friend to YOU
Iou re finding fault with this and that,
And you put or la.l 0 shame,
But you never offer to 20 back
To the land from whence you came.
Instead, You hang around and howl
Like some low. maddening cur,
Creating all the harm you can,
With hate, and lie, and slur
If You don't like our Uncle Sam,
Or the home he offered you;
II YOU don't like the Starry Flag,
The old Red, White and Blue
Then pack your grip and beat it,
Away Ger the rolling foam,
/ 10 that land where you came iron,
The land that you call home
Perhaps you'll find things better
| And more to Your liking there;
For we sure don't want you with Us
If You don't mean to be square.
So pack your grip aud beat it
To Your homeland Ger the sea.
! For there's no room for such as you
In this Land of the Free,
