More Truth

THE MOVIE HERO.

THE MOVIE HERO.
l regret to be recorded with the
knockers.
l would rather be both generous
and kind,
But I've witnessed fifteen-hundred
movie shockers,
Which have fixed but one impress

Though the villains sometime use
the aid of reason
In the setting Of movie drama

or the plotting Of their bloody
minded treason,
Every hero In the movies is sap,
he Will go to ruined buildings in the
night time.
When the Villains trusty rough
necks Turk about,
And a simp would know that this
was not the right time
For a man whose life was threat

Do not think that he deserves bit
of credit
For escaping from the villains

He is just a plain, in-headed-yes
you've said it
It's the playwright who preserves
his worthless life.
He will go TO make his fortune in
the city
Leaving lovely little Laura on the
farm,
Trusting blindly to the chivalry and
pity
or a villain who doesn't mean a
thing but harm.
She'd be kidnapped by this black
moustache IagO,
Who's devoted all his life 10 plan

And be on the seven fifty TO Chi

OF his parents.
He will put a chattel mortgage

Both OF which the crafty villain S

Seize, the minute that the law
can take its course.
All the prospects of retaining them
diminish.
Till the brave and able playwright
comes TO bat;
He makes everything grow rosy al

But the hero is a simp, for all of
