Pro Patria
Tip Sans had twins
And a razor-backed SOW,
Five dogs and a mule
And an old roam cow
A bone-spavined filly
And a one-room house,
And little wrinkled woman
Just as meek as a mouse.
Old Tip raised tobacss
And he trafficked in skins,
For he had seven sons
In addition to the twins,
And every mothers son,
And the little nanny, jude,
Smoked a pipe all day
And the twins both chewed.
But Tip kept a-digging
And he never lost heart
For the dogs hunted rabbits
And they caught a right smart;
And the bone-spavined FLY
And the mule pulled a plow,
And they lived off the givings
OF the old roam COW,
And the acorn-fatteIeI farrow
\ OF the razor-back SOW.

OF my little romance,
For the seven sons are sleeping
