Our Guardians


The crime wave. never halts or
stops, marauders slay and rob; the
blackjack swings, the pistol pops,
and dying victims sob; and we
should all support the cops, who
have SO fierce a job. If there's a
mystery on deck, and no solutions
come, we cry, by James. and eke
by Heck, the sleuths are on the
bum; the CORY slayers safely trek
through alley, wynd and slun. The
murderer in safety treads.; safe is
the burglar. too; and while we slum-
Der in our beds our safes are
knocked askew, for all the sleuths
are leatherheads who gum up every
clcw." Can we expect the cops to
feel encouraged by our talk; will
they be heartened by our spiel, when
every spells knock? Would you
be filed with righteous zeal ii
beaned with brick or rock Last
night some caitiff stole my cow, the
COW with brindled fleece; | might be
ranting, snorting now and cussing
the police, but there's no cloud upon
my brow. my soul is filled with
peace. For we'll | know Policeman
Moore is busy as can be; he seeks
by COW, he trails her steps through
dinglc. copse and lea, and all the
bulletins assure he'll, bring her back
to me.
