SEEN ON THE SIDE
Two Sorts OF Men.
ny HENRY EDWARD WARNER

Two sorts of men there were who bode
In that same burg wherein l dwelt
Differing in manner and in mode
AS mountains differ from the vcldt;
For one was bad think he would
DO evil in most any Cline
Tho other very good
You had to watch him all the time.
Tho bad man-O no was sight!
We always knew that he was bad!
He'd leave Communion for a fight
But what winning way he had.
If any devilmcnt arose
To turn the village upside down
The footprints showed our bad mans toes
lie was the terror OF the town
The good man-O he was so good
The preachers took him for a text!
He always lived just he should
And had all Paradise annexed.
But all the same, our private thought
Was justified when one fine day
Our good with the goods was caught
Red handcd, as he sncakcd away!
Two sorts of men there were who hode
In that same burg wherein | dwclt
Differing in manner and in mode
AS mountains differ from the vcldt
And of the two rather think
I'm weak enough, IL this is weak
To tip the wicked man n wink
